Hell in a handbasket

A woman was stabbed in my neighbourhood last night by a random stranger. Stabbed! In the stomach! Unprovoked! Seriously - wtf? I had walked through this intersection only an hour before the stabbing, too, since I'd taken the subway home from work.

Honestly, in the past year, I have felt the neighbourhood go downhill - shootings a couple of blocks away, robberies in my building, a shooting across the street in the park, and now a stabbing at an intersection I pass through on a regular basis. I love this neighbourhood so much, but I'm also starting to look forward to leaving it.
