A brief respite, but last night, 213 was abuzz for a few hours with the usual suspects drinking, it seemed, from the way they were guzzling, alcohol in water bottles, and passing reefers back and forth; not sure if the call to 311 cleared them out, or if they just left.
And later, we witnessed our first full-on drug deal--we've seen it before, knew it was around, but last night we saw the long-haired dealer on our block at 2xx reach in grab a hand-held package, saw the package clearly in the glow from the streetlights, then the dealer go to a car idling in the fire hydrant and reach in through the window, do the deal, then get in the passenger-side and smoke up. Later still, we saw the same dealer go around the block in another car, then was dropped off in a fancy never-seen-it-before-last-week-but-seen-it-four-times-since Hummer.
