I got an email from Lynn whose Boston Terrier, Petey, was taken her backyard at 5 N. Crenshaw (near Carytown) on July 2nd. Lynn writes: "We've recently had a few calls from people who say a homeless couple has been seen around the Devil's Triangle area with a Boston Terrier. The girl even told one person the dog was named Petey. I'm told they look like some of the traveling punk kids you see around. We've put fliers in your area, but if you post notices on your blog, it would be great if I could post one there too. We're all heartbroken over this. If you happen to see them yourself, please give me a call. My phone number is 358-2953."
That was from Lynn - please help her out.
This small neighborhood, established in the 1920s, has been known as "The Devil's Triangle" since the 1980s. The name came from the rough and rowdy bars located on the 600 and 700 blocks of N. Sheppard Street. Those bars are gone now - replaced by other establishments. The neighborhood is still active. New businesses keep opening up and other long time ones have continued. This site will try to document the history of this small but vibrant Richmond neighborhood.
Thanks so much for posting this! My family misses him so much!
