There's never a dull moment in our neighborhood, or lives for that matter. Jen has a story to share: Last night I was walking home from the grocery store and almost tripped over a man who was passed out on the street. I freaked out and ran to the other side of the road because I assumed it was a bum but as I was passing him I realized it was a normal guy. I didn't want to approach him alone (ya never know) so I called my neighbor, Ricky, to come help me out because Matt was at work. The guy had his phone to his ear like he was talking on the phone and just passed out. Ricky and I thought he was dead because he looked so wan and stiff! We called 911 and they used their specialized training to detect that he was, in fact, alive. It took awhile to wake him up and he couldn't stand on his own. They said he was probably just drunk because he was so close to a bar but I think there was more to it. I was relived though. I had been creating stories in my head while we were waiting for the ambulance. I was sure he was on the phone with his wife when he had an aneurysm and she was going crazy trying to find him! But apparently he's just a lush. Anyway, I'm glad he was ok.
Coming home from work last night I spotted a bride and groom and a few groomsmen staggering out of LIC bar which I thought was a little strange considering it was like 2am and their wedding night.
While out and about in the 'hood today we noticed this new spot coming to Vernon Blvd. It's exciting to see more and more businesses coming down towards our end of downtown.
