The Off Licences in Manchester keep their stock behind BULLET PROOF GLASS. Where I lived in Manchester wasn't too rough - it was quite studenty - but people did tend to get shot occasionly. There was a club round the corner from me where the BOUNCERS were bundled into the back of a van and driven off and then someone ran in and shot the manager (though obviously he shot like a girl because the manager survived)
I could never decide whether it was SCARY or reasurring to see armed policemen walking around the streets (I settled on reassuring because it was less scary)

But all takeaway places still deliver.

That said, it wasn't terribly onerous, once you got used to the bulletproof glass in the liquor stores and fast-food places. I'd go for a few weeks hardly noticing the area's grimmer aspects, until something--like hearing gunshots from the alley--happened. Still, the period of the Shotgun Stalker was unsettling...especially because my mother heard about the series of shootings before I did, and of course she did the motherly thing and gave me a call telling me to get out of the area.

-Govenhill Glasgow, addicts forming cues in the stairwell for the heroin dealers flat downstairs, first the neighbours being burgled by having the front door kicked in...then ours.
