It sure was noisy again this weekend here on the corner of State Street and Unity Alley! We kept our front lights on all night both nights in hopes it would deter folks from vandalism, like pulling flowers from planters, etc. It seems to work.
At one point, I observed five pretty drunken tough-looking guys park a vehicle across the street and amble down Unity Alley. They looked like trouble. A few minutes later, a black and white cruiser passed the house headed toward Broad Street.
But, as of Monday, the only issue to report from this address was the usual noisiness!

WOW! Cops Respond Big-Time!
The chorus of complaints voiced by those attending last week's FQNA meeting were certainly heard!
As of approximately 11pm Saturday night, we saw the following at the northwest corner of State and Queen:
1 black and white cruiser with two officers
1 officer on horseback
2 bike patrol officers
It was very raucus in the neighborhood that night, but the CPD was certainly out in force!
