The Kensington Market BIA is asking reporters to delete the name from stories when they are about crime. The request will bring a smile to many. Too many people think of Kensington Market as synonymous not with crime but with dirty streets. Sorry. A press release issued yesterday said stories that name Kensington Market are “a smear on the good name of everyone who lives and works here.”
HAS ANYONE EVER LIED TO YOU?
Maybe, but crime is everywhere even in South Bayview. At least no one has ever lied to them in Kensington Market about a 60-bed homeless shelter staffed by three super alert volunteers in order to entrap people and get a little cheap publicity. That was a crime. Maybe several crimes.
