I love what the Garden Hills Neighborhood Association does for the people of GH, me included. They hold meetings to discuss neighborhood matters, formulate plans to improve it’s landscape, and once a year hold this outdoor festival that is today, until 7:30pm and Garden Hills Park.
I stopped by to check it out. The police and fire department were there for a meet and greet; home depot employees were showing off home safety equipment like fire extinguishers and fire alarms; there was a bounce house; and finally free Hawaiian shaved ice from a local food truck.
So I went to enjoy a shaved ice and in my usual fashion I asked for their signature shaved ice. The man working said “well that would be ‘murder mix.’” I think the name is inappropriate and insensitive especially being served during a community event for people who may have suffered from homicidal crimes.
