No cement was spilled.
Fasten your seatbelt. It's gonna be a bumpy life.

Did the cement truck spill any wet cement from the crash? If so, and they didn't clean up the mess, it's gonna create some very bumpy pavement at Grant Circle.

When I walked by there was a station wagon with a big dog in the back. A woman asked me if I had an extra leash for the dog. I heard the officers questioning a man in the Van about swallowing something.
Later on a buch of cops speed of to the other side of Grant.
It was an active afternoon :)

Speaking of police cars...
The strangest thing happened last night. Around 11 pm,I was in front of my house watering my front garden before going to bed. Not long after I started watering, two police cars pull up next to the park across the street (NH & Taylor). When the police entered the park, a woman started screaming at the police. I assumed it was nothing serious, just some crazy woman, until more police cars converged on the area than I have ever seen in one place in my life. At one point, I did a count and came up with 15 police cars. Two or three additional cars arrived moments later. Of course, the obligatory fire truck showed up moments later as did an ambulance. If you hear any buzz what was going on, I'd love to know.

Does anyone know what happened Tuesday night? There were several police cars and an ambulance on 5th, right off Grant Circle?
