If You Still Live Here
FOUND by Katie Delgado
A crack dealer lived in my house for about ten years before I moved in. The neighbors tell me about it. This note was left one day when I was out of town.

Did he ever come back to "shoot the breeze"?
A neighbor of my mother's told a story about her childhood home, which the family rented out for a time (during the Prohibition) to a single man who turned out to be a liquor dealer. When they found out what he was doing, they turned him out and reoccupied the home themselves. Unfortunately, for months afterward they were subject to strangers knocking on the door asking for "Tippy." She still remembers with crystal clarity, her mother standing at the door shouting, "He doesn't live here anymore! Go away and leave us alone!!" while her father was bedridden with tuberculosis in the next room.
this one has to be my favorite of all the notes I have seen yet.
Wow! Wow...I'd be interested to talk to him I think.
I dont think that people that are fresh out of prsion should be talking about shooting anything, their parole officers might get the wrong idea.
I used to live in an ex-crack house... For the first few weeks it was pretty brutal, after welfare wednesday, you'd have crack heads knocking on the door/your bedroom window bright and early. Not the most pleasant thing to wake up to. But after a while, it seemed to get around to all their old....'clients?'
Hopefully he only wanted to shot the breeze and nothing else.
thats a girls handwriting. what guy makes curly-cue things?
jess, that was the first thing I thought! i don't know any guys that would make decorations on a note ^^
I've heard females say "out of prison" when they mean divorced. Doubt it fits this case though.
Jess and Claudia- why would they sign it 'Brother'?
Wondering why the large indent before "I'm Fresh"?
I think it was a girl, the indent you can see where the name was taken out with white-out. I think the "Brother" at the end of the note was part of the salutation "Peace Brother". And, and correct me if I am wrong, women do go to prison....
I once got a (land line) phone number that had previously belonged to a prostitute. For a couple of months we slept with the phone off the hook, until we decided to change the number. I actually asked one wanna-be punter, if he thinks I should change, and he warmly recommended it. The new number had obviously belonged to a Polish musician, but that's another story.
when me and my boyfriend first moved to TN we had been living in our apartment for about a month and almost every night that first month we would get knocks on our door at all hours of the night from people looking for ome guy who had lived there before us. its the most annoying thing in the world, but the looks on peoples faces when me or my boyfriend anwered the door and told them the other guy didnt live here anymore the laughs we got from thier drugged out confusion was ALMOST worth it. but i cant believe how rude some people were like asking if we could give them his new address (which i had no clue of) or if they could use our phone to get a ride bc they had been dropped off ( UMM NO!)
When he said he was "fresh out of prison," I hope it means they let him out as opposed to him escaping...
Katie, if you haven't done so already: Move.
