In college I lived a block away from "Realistic Ave." One night one of my housemates awoke to a smacking sound, and saw a guy with an eyepatch punching someone into the sidewalk across the street. The police that came informed us Eyepatch Guy was a known gangster, who lost his eye but survived an execution-style bullet through the head.
One morning I saw a guy on a bike pull into our driveway. Instead of a water bottle he had a 40oz Bug Light bottle in the holder. He urinated on our fence.
Things like this happened all the time, a stone's throw from "Realistic Ave."
