Average house on Main Street in Castroville

A short residential street on the edge of the highway. We start taking photos and striking up conversations. Halfway the block, we hear a man calling at us to come back. Clearly not thrilled with our presence and his arms taught at his waist, he asks, “Is there a good reason why you’re taking pictures of my house?” I responded with “Yes!” and then I explained. He said, “With what I’m trying to do here, I can’t have any pictures posted of my house.” He was really upset. We didn’t ask “what he was trying to do here.”

A few houses down, we met a much friendlier soul. He told us his block of Main Street was safe but one block farther down the street it got dangerous. Maybe it had something to do with what people were trying to do over there.
