We decided to visit a friend’s father who was admitted and had been undergoing treatment for several weeks at Cleveland Clinic for a serious illness.
We were driving on the four lane Carnegie Avenue on our way to Cleveland Clinic. We stopped at a traffic signal. There was one more car ahead of us at the traffic signal. A man started started crossing Euclid avenue. After crossing half of the street, he turned back and started walking towards the car in front of my automobile. I noticed the male driver of the car roll up his partially open window glass. He did not want to have anything to do with the approaching man. Now from observing the agitated man and the rolling up of the window glass, I realized that this was a potentially dangerous situation. I locked my automobile and started praying for the traffic signal to turn green. The man walked up to my automobile and repeatedly said, “Can I ask you a question?”. I pretended to be confused and chose not to roll down the window. After an enternity, the light turned green and I was relieved to be out of my nightmare on Carnegie Avenue and on my way Cleveland Clinic in my automobile instead of in an ambulance.
In 2009, there have been numerous media reports of murders within City of Cleveland. I am not going to venture into Cleveland, if I don’t have to.
