Wow, look at this.

A crime is committed. The councilmember brings attention to it. The police investigate and someone is arrested.

If only we could get Frumin to care as much about violent crime as he apparently does about property crime.

That’s so sad! I hope you didn’t lose anything irreplaceable.

It’’s one way to solve the challenge of a “historic” building impeding progress.

There was a fire in Burleith last week. Without evidence, this seems like enough of an outlier statistically to believe it is not random.


Wait, you think more than one fire in a city of over 700,000 people in a week is a statistical anomaly?

I just realized that there were two fires today near us, and I’ve lived here for 30 years without one prior.

One was the Mormon church on Western past the old Mazza, and the other was (is currently?) a church on Tenley Circle.
