Description: Rare 1950 Pigs Salt and Pepper Shakers Souvenir of Schrimpf Alley - Houston TX - Bayou City Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE The Street of the Scorpion, Where Death Hath No Sting By Sigman Byrd I was strolling northward on Hamilton street when this Railway Express Agency truck pulled over to the sidewalk, and the driver asked if I knew where Scorpion street was. It happened I did. “Street of the Scorpion” is the English translation of Calle Alacaran, which is what the Lutin residents call Schrimpf street. Most Negro residents call the street Rat Alley. Schrimpf street is not the same as Schrimpf alley. The alley runs east and west. The Street of the Scorpion runs north and south, taking off from a point where Race street tries to crawl under an underpass and bogs down in impassible mud. “You approach Race via Rains, in the Second Ward. You won’t find Scorpion, Alacaran or Schrimpf street on the map- at least it’s on neither of the two big city maps that hang here in the newsroom. I offered to pilot the truce to the Street of the Scorpion, and the driver accepted. He said,his name was Johnny Jordan; and he had a bundle of clothes from the penitentiary to deliver to a party named Israel at 103. No. 3 was a little frame row, shack just three doors from Race street — a fortunate location, since It’s impossible to turn around in the Calle Alacaran. If you drive to No. 9, down where the muddy street dead-ends in a bayou bank thicket, you’ll have to back out for a distance of about a quarter of a mule.
