bang

I’m already hearing gunfire, this seems particularly early. Maybe they’re getting it out of the way to get up to Carytown?

    I wasn’t in Church Hill last year for New Year’s Eve. Is it always like this? I sure hope all of this gunfire does not wake up my baby. And I hope everyone is shooting up…especially since it sounds like they’re shooting a block away from my house.

    And the gun fire is in full swing again this year. If I remember correctly this lasted almost an hour last year.

    This is lighter than I remember. Our first year here, 2003/2004, it sounded like an invasion. There is hardly any automatic weaponry at all.

    South Side was pretty lively; about on par with last year. I didn’t get some of the really good ones. I swear one guy has a freakin’ RPG.

    I heard a .wav from Fulton that also sounded very “festive.”

    Happy New Year, people of Church Hill! The people of South Side send their greetings!

    People might want to check their roofs for slugs embedded there. We’ve had several insidious leaks over the years that kind of crept up on us that turned out to be slugs in our roof. We have quite a little collection.

    at 11:30 or so someone fired a shot gun 3-4 times directly across the ravine and it was not fun. We stayed inside again this year but it didn’t sound as bad as last year.

    Hezbollah’s got nothing on us, baby!

    Jokes aside…what can be done? Ask the governor to declare martial law? Right now they’re shooting in the air. Bring the police in here, and they’ll be shooting at the police. It could get really ugly. Think Watts.

    They were on their way to Northside. Gunplay for 2 hours near Laburnum & Brook. Sounded like an Iraqi wedding.

    Actually, I think this happens out in the burbs too.

    Nonetheless, I’d recommend staying inside during the revelry. Several years back, our next door neighbor was outside during the turn of the clock and she was grazed by a bullet. It hit just behind her ear. Who knows how bad it could have been – she still has the scar.

    What goes up, must come down.

    Were there any Geese involved in the shooting?

    Nothing will compare to New years Eve 1994 where, before Project Exile and all the tactics aimed at cleaning up our streets, my area near Fairfield sounded like Bosnia for hours. I heard all kinds of weapons and stuff that sounded like cannons. It was lighter by far this year, starting 2 minutes to midnight until probably 5 minutes after.

    For a couple of years in a row, bullets severed our phone line and two years, 2000 and 2001, were spent in the dark for the first minutes of those new years.
