What little I know of Aleppo is that it is mentioned in Othello: “And say besides, that in Aleppo once / Where a malignant and turban’d Turk / Beat a Venetian and traduc’d the state / I took by the throat the circumcized dog, / And smote him thus.” And even that I remember mostly via Nabokov’s “That in Aleppo Once,” which is a great line among many to lift for a short-story title. In the former, Othello is going on about the time he killed a man, all because now he’s about to kill himself for also having killed his wife. In the latter, one of Nabokov’s typically dyspeptic protagonists warns jokingly that “it all may end in Aleppo if I’m not careful,” alluding that maybe there is some suicide ahead here, too. All this to wonder idiotically: Aleppo is actually a place? That makes sense.

![This guy is not Nick, owner of a house in Venice, just some “seemingly clearly drug-induced” guy busted stealing water for Nick: “The police arrived and [this guy] led police on a foot pursuit and was caught on the corner of Strongs and N. Venice. [This guy] refused to give police his name, and then faked a heart attack demanding to go to the hospital.” It’s a good trick, and we might never know this guy’s name. But we do know this guy at least sometimes fetches water for Nick—and that everyone hates Nick, that Nick hates everyone, and that Nick has a purple t-shirt.
“When people attempt to park in the street parking space [Nick or Nick’s people] tried to spray paint for themselves, when neighbors have approached [Nick or Nick’s people] for stealing outside hose water, leaving trash and debris on their property, etc., Nick has threatened to:
Chop their heads off
Slit their throats
Have them killed
Make sure they disappear so nobody ever finds them
Will have their car blow up while they are driving
Also he says the cops can’t touch him because he is too smart for them.”](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m6qxa0v1Qj1qf5ypzo1_1280.png)
