The photo is taken near looking southeast from the south side of SW Jefferson St west of 14th Ave. I recognize the old Marabba West apartment building in the background (now condos?).
SMKE - smoke? Who's the big tobacco lobbyist - Mark Nelson?
Actually, I walked up and took a look - the photo is in the parking lot at 1410 SW Jefferson St, the location of Fog Cutter Capital. Could this be Andrew Wiederhorn's car? I have no clue what the "SMKE" plate might mean. Smoke and mirrors?
Usually a "SMKE" plate on a pimpin' 15+ year-old Caddy would imply the owner's a fan of marijuana. Perhaps Mr. Weiderhorn has parlayed his new-found street cred from his days in the Pen into a lucrative business slangin’ the chronic.

The whole photo caption "thing" smells of Neil G., fancy car, fancy neighborhood, nefarious doings in the day.
But, I see The King in a later-model car.
No?

Nah, Weiderhorn's vanity plate is SNKE -- "snake" -- since he's slimy, slithery, dangerous and on the loose.

It's nice to have a business on the side when your base salary is only $589,000.
