Because I had to

So I get this phone call from my cousin at around 11 o clock at night. He calls to tell me that his girlfriend got into a car accident. Apparently she was driving in New Jersey (where they live) and while she was on route 18 another car was pulling out from one of the strip malls that litters that area. So as the other car was exiting it hit the passanger side of her car and sped off. The other car didn't even have the decency of stopping getting out of the car and seeing if everything was okay. He slowed down for like 2 seconds than drove off knowing that it was 100% his fault. So anyways my cousin calls me from the police station because they filed a report but in the state of shock they forgot to take the license plates number of the other car. So with no number and no lead they couldn't really do anything about it.

If I was driving I would have chased the other car down until I found out where s/he lived and get that person to pay for the damages because it was obviously their fault the accident happen and to try and speed away is ridiculous. I asked why she didnt chase them she said she didn't want to make an illegal U-Turn but I would have made the quickest u-turn in history and followed him whats the worse that can happen the cops come? GOOD I would have told them that car just hit me! Luckily for that person I wasn't driving or their car would be destroyed.

Atleast no one was hurt in the accident except the car obviously. When I first heard the news I thought someone got hurt or the car was completely totaled but when I went to Jersey to see the car it wasn't nearly as bad as i thought it was gonna be. The passanger side is banged up indented but it isnt falling apart and is still drivable(is that a word?). I hope she can get it fixed but i feel bad since they have to pay for the damages when it was not their fault at all and the other car basically did a hit and run!

My Neighborhood

I live in Staten Island NY pretty far from Access. I live on Fillmore Street on Lafayette ave and its pretty uncity like lol opposite of the area around the school. There's 2 delis around my neighborhood a bar/resturant called Adobe Blues(picture on the right). The bar is pretty popular its a southwest type resturant looks pretty cool from the outside theres a southwest setting around it and inside. There's also chinese take out up the block from my house and aside from that there's pretty much nothing else, literally.

Two buses run through my neighborhood both on the same line except one is local the other express. I take the S44 which sends me right to the corner of my block. Up ahead theres an elementary school and a hospital if you go up like 4 or 5 more streets. The hospital is pretty big and nice and it's close so if anything happens i can be there in no time! which is good because an ambulance is like 300 dollars! no thanks.

Most people in the neighborhood are either white black or chinese. It's fairly safe lol as safe as NYC can be (which isnt really that safe if you ask me) but nothing really happens around there. Most people are friendly and I like living there but walking around you start to feel like it's a ghost town you barely see people walking around and its definatly not like the city even cars are hard to come by.

It's a journey to get here from Access first I take the 1 train to South Ferry than you take the Staten Island Ferry (left) which is a 30 minute ride but its free so theres that. After that you take the S44 for about 10 minutes (you'll know you're close when you make a turn at the gas station) the bus stops right infront of Adobe Blues so get off and enjoy!
