I came home tonight to my street being blocked off again, cops everywhere and more police tape up. My heart jumped when I saw it.

A man was crushed to death today while working in a small construction zone area on my street.

Once again my son will not be able to go to the park until the on-site investigation is done.

I wonder if the man killed was one of the men that helped the poor woman that found the murdered woman 2 weeks ago.

Ugh.

... carefully.

It's like my street is the street of incidents and death.

It went from nice, quiet area to craziness all the time.

Good lord! Girl, you need to get the hell out of there.

And stupid Jason asked me at work today, "Anymore killings lately?".



At least there are tons of cops in my area again so I feel a bit more comfortable being here alone.

Jeez!!!
you could make a movie of this and it would be unbelievable "as if that would happen "

when are you planning your Australia holiday again?

Speaking of holidays ..what date in sept ...and when u say passing through...are u here for the day/couple of days?

ZombieKitten said:

I know eh? It's pretty nuts. An attempted break in, two murders (one on my street and the other just blocks away) and then this accident (again on my street) all in just 2 weeks.

I'd sure love to go to Australia!!!

You wouldn't love our weather right now though you like the beach right? wait until January

I think I know where you live.

Where the hell are you living at? The south side of Chicago? It sounds like you are there right now. We've had way too many shootings of kids just minding their own business being shot in the head or chest by gang crossfire. I have a friend who lives on the south side of Chicago who fortunately lives in a safer neighborhood, but she would like to get out of there as soon as possible if she could afford to find another house in a safer neighborhood.

sounds like there is a lot of high level violent energy there.

I'd imagine it has everyone on high alert, that's drawing more danger there.


I'd imagine you are getting to know all your neighbors pretty well?

i think its cause its summer etc.
i think i told you about my rock in the road incident.
well Sunday night/monday morning I looked out the window about 12:30 am and the rock is GONE.

We are doing our hols first 3 weeks Sept driving up, stopping at a few places on way up. We have other friends up your way, so we might stay a few days, do the theme parks

I am sorry this latest thing happened, but at least this one was an accident and not a crime.

So, Erin, what exactly made you want to move atop an Indian burial ground?

I live in a city with low crime rates, a very low murder rate and I live in a nice little area of the city...or so I thought.

Unfortunately, the crappy stuff that's been happening lately just seems to all be happening in my neighborhood. The run of events are certainly not common for Ottawa.

The funny thing is now none of us talk at all now.

k, what? What rock story??

PaisleyPark5083 said:

I know! I am thankful for that. It's really a shame about what happened though. I guess it was all very traumatic - remember this is one hell of a busy area during the day, lots of people use those bike paths.

I'm just glad I was at work and Miles was at my parents when it happened. I can't even imagine the terror of it all.

Lammastide said:

No kidding.

JustErin said:

you better return any stones you took as souvenirs from the grand canyon or wherever

ZombieKitten said:

It's my first summer in this area...and it might just be my last...as much as it upsets me to leave because I really do love this area. It's hard to leave being right beside a beach.

JustErin said:

someone shoved a giant ass rock thats at the corner of my property in the middle of the road/intewrsection. needless to say a neighbor hit it with their car about 2 in the morning.
So we put it back, (between the cops pushing it up to the curb with a paddy wagon and a earth mover putting it back in place)
I look out the window a couple nights ago and its just gone.
Im assuming the first time they probably tried to take it, but someone was probably coming so they hurried and left before they could get it in their car/truck. this time they had enough time to take it.
Im assuming its some kids out of school for the summer. Who else has time and energy to piss with a giant ass rock

EvilAlthom said:

Yes.... no shit.... move..... you must be livin' in the Bermuda Triangle.....

horatio said:

you know those amber lights that flash where there are roadworks?
I woke up with one of those in our bedroom one night still flashing

ZombieKitten said:

omg

horatio said:

Weird!

what the hell?!
