Who knew my boring old neighborhood could have so much excitement? I didn't. That's for sure. But sometimes the biggest things happen in the smallest places.
My neighborhood near Richmond is no biggie. Basically no one knows of it. Except for the fact that we're near highway 80. But they don't care, not the federal whatevers. Certainly they didn't when we campaigned to get an 'improvement' to safe-ify our neighborhood.
Anywho, once drama starts, it gets juicy. ;) And guess what? We ended up on the news tonight...only for about 3-4 minutes, but it's enough to show that our little neighborhood IS a place where people live as well. now I've talked about nothing for the past few sentences so lemme say what really happened:
May not be able to go to school tomorrow. Reason:
The entrance to my neighborhood gave away and now there is a humongous hole in the ground. Two cars fell into it and reports say that the first car had someone in it while the second one had no one. A boy fell in later though I'm not exactly sure when.
The man in a silver car was right behind the two cars and saw the whole thing. Now he's in shock and is sitting in a stupor with his car still running.
Police have now quarantined the people in the neighborhood from exiting or entering. Before, you can exit only, no entering. Now it's no exiting or entering.
News helicopters have been up and about since 6 pm. Wonder how long will it take for this to air? =D
Now, the question is: How long will it take for it to repair? One day? Two days? There are police, ambulances, and fire trucks outside. And we're not allowed to leave. What to do?

just a sidenote. KOFY news (TV20 Cable 13) aired a live footage of the mess and what the construction crew are working to do now. Mark Rossberg, a neighbor of mine, sent in a footage of the actual damage close up before officers shooed him away.
