Puzzling evidence:

On November 25, 1938, Lexington artist Edward Fisk
is struck by a car and badly injured at the intersection
of Third and Broadway in Lexington.

In 1981, another Lexington artist, Henry Faulkner,
is struck by a car and killed at this same intersection
by a teenager running a red light on a drunken joyride.

In 1991, another Lexington artist, Jeffrey Scott Holland,
is almost killed at this same intersection by a street gang.
(And a decade later, Holland actually lived at the corner of
3rd & Broadway.)

In 1999, another Lexington artist, Dan Selter, was hit by a car
on the corner of 3rd and Broadway while walking from his nearby
studio to Rupp Arena. Selter was not badly hurt, and actually hitched
a ride with the driver of the vehicle for the rest of his trek to Rupp.

In 2000, another Lexington artist, Todd Dockery, attends
a party at the corner of 3rd & Broadway, shortly after which
he is nearly fatally stabbed by a drunk on Upper Street, and
stupidly charged with assault by Lexington police even though
he was clearly the victim, not the attacker.

thanks to Kurt Gohde for the info on Selter.
