- There was no sleeping in the South Shore neighborhood this morning, as sirens woke up residents.
At 85th Street and Exchange Avenue, the Saturday morning quiet was shattered by sounds of sirens.
Police were summoning residents to a street meeting.
We usually throw a boot at the cat when he starts wailing in the early AM hours, "Tom & Jerry" style.
We're surprised the aldercreature and police commander weren't walking the block with metal garbage cans and a 2x4 to make sure everyone got the message.
This is an "appropriate" use of police manpower?
