bomb squad
bomb squad
when you live in a neighborhood like ours, you deal with a different status quo. yesterday afternoon brought a new chapter to our urban living experience. now, we’ve put up with some nonsense in our time here, but this was new.
around 3:30pm, sara noticed a police car pulled up in front of our house, blocking the flow of traffic. pedestrians were routed over to our side of the street. pretty soon, there were 7 police vehicles - two of which were a van and an SUV belonging to the “Metro Police Bomb Squad”. over the next few hours, with traffic completely blocked off to our street, a couple of police officers at a time would head up toward the house diagonally from us.
around dinnertime, sara finally went out and asked one of the police officers, “do we have any reason to be worried?”
to which the officer replied, “not anymore” and then he turned and walked away. long story short, nothing exploded and we’re still here.
for now.
