Opinion: Is Our Memory That Short?

Thinking about the recent shooting on the Drive, it would appear that the drive has a bit of a split personality.
You wouldn't have any idea that there had ever been an incident.
Vegetables are being spread out, panhandlers are at their usual stations. I haven't seen a cop all day. A young girl with orange hair stood checking her phone in almost the exact spot the young man was gunned down.
Even walking it last night, the street seems to have no memory. it revelled and paraded and hustled pizza and beer.
Sometimes living near the Drive can feel pretty random and disconnected. Or perhaps that's just Life.
What do other people think?
