The ostriches are long gone, but you can still see an old ostrich feeder on the north wall of Meridian Iron Works. Go check it out the next time you're at the Farmer's Market or hopping on the Gold Line. Get a hold of me here.

Sorry for the big lag. Don’t get me wrong, Ireland was fun. But going back and cobbling together the past few weeks of police reports? Not so much fun. My favorite is the kid who saw the “Road Closed” sign on the 110 on-ramp, and took it as more of a suggestion. Very full report [...]

Crime Report 07.01.09

Maybe I’ve seen too many movies, but whenever someone cuts a hole in the roof to get inside the Japanese restaurant, odds are the perp is a ninja.

So you wake up in the morning and can’t find your cellphone. Logical conclusion: Someone broke into your home and stole the phone while you slept. Just the phone. The full police report after the jump:

Crime Report 03.21.09

Two lessons we can take away from last week’s police report: No smokin’ in the boys’ room, and don’t smoke pot when you’re illegally parked. Really, just don’t smoke pot in your car.
