(read a summary)

the neighbouhood/block specific-ness of this city still surprises me
i live in a pretty good area, and rarely see cop cars on my block (unless they are headed somewhere)
but a few blocks over and i know its a different story
where i lived prior - i was on the 9th floor and every weekend i could see a police copter circling this one particular neighbourhood
(that has got to be traumatizing to kids. its a practice they really should stop/ find an alternative)

we'll see what changes this brings though
