Earlier this month, The Journal released an in-depth look into the gangs of Providence by Projo vet Bill Malinowski, who was moved to investigate the city’s street gangs last August, when in that month there were 20 gang related shootings over 31 days. The online report is rich in detail, providing the history and origins of many of Providence’s gangs, including a slightly disturbing map of the West End, with multiple gun and bat icons showing shootings and assaults throughout the neighborhood. It’s disconcerting, personally, for that fact that my apartment apparently sits on the corner of 9mm St. and Louisville Slugger Avenue.
