Hey the Cops Sometimes Come
Yesterday I notice a man hanging out in front of the overpriced house for sale. He's there for a good 30 minutes. At first I thought he was a workman, doing some finishing touches on the outside. But no. He was a strange one. So after about 1/2 an hour I call 311 and I don't know how long I had to wait to get a person on the other end but by the time I get an operator, he starts moseying up the street.
About 5-10 later the cops drive by, and slow down at the address given. I'm standing in the doorway chatting w/ Brett and wave to the officers, who warily wave back. They turn around and come back to the spot get out and say, "Well I don't think either of you called it in.." Oh, I fess up that I did it and describe the 'weird' behavior.
Well they did show up within a resonable amount of time, they get points for that.

History, me complaining, history, stuff about the immediate hood (Truxton Circle) and the surrounding neighborhood (Shaw), gentrification, demographics, and some more history.
