home sweet home

I drove from work to home uneventfully until I reached my block. I turned onto the block, and a police car was parked the wrong direction on my left. In front of that house, I saw lots of kids and adults around. I parked my car, walked to my front door. I heard an adult voice crying.

I changed clothes inside. The crying was louder. I opened my front door, and a woman was wailing on the street in front of my house, supported by 2 other people.  There are at least a dozen adults standing around in their front yard.

Either somebody died, or somebody had a child taken away.  Or both.

This is the problem house farther down my block that I've mentioned before. (The house that prompted the "he's not a customer" comment.) Nothing is showing in my Citizen app or NextDoor app.  I even peeked at the Facebook cesspool, but there's no mention there either.  I have no idea what's going on.

Sad.

Around the time I finished posting the original message, a fire truck drove up with sirens. They got out of the vehicle with bags and went into a house farther down my block. (Not sure if this photo will load without a MeWe login. I might have to load it separately later.) Lots of fun tonight.

I stood out on the front porch again. 6:30pm. An ambulance pulled away from the house #2 where the fire truck was earlier. Lots of people still outside house #1.

A woman on the street said a man died at house #1. She didn't know what happened at house #2, but she said she didn't see them bring anyone out.

My next door neighbor on Russell Ave just off Victory Memorial Parkway was found near death in 2019. It turned out he was the worst kind of hoarder and was living in filth. The Fire Department showed up, then came out of his house and donned hazard suits and reentered. It took a team of five people several weeks to get the house livable again!

Was someone taken away? I'm curious as to what happened.

My indoors is an embarrasing wreck currently, but it's nowhere near toxic, at least. :)

I still don't know what happened. I'm sure they sell drugs out of that house #1, so I'd assume an overdose of some kind. That doesn't explain why the police lingered for so long, though. There was never any police tape, so it apparently was never a "foul play" situation. There are balloons at their front door today, commemorating the death like all of the other curbside memorials around here.

Nothing mentioned about my block here either. *big shrug*
