Well this doesn't bode well,

[SeaCat]

Well this doesn't bode well for my neighborhood. Had a some people move in across the street today. I never saw them, just the truck and their cars (two gold colored high end cars. One BMW SUV and one Lexus SUV, both with heavily tinted windows), but we sure did hear them. Yelling and screaming as well as the music blasting.

Just now I was outside cruching down some cans in the carport and saw not one but two cruisers slowly prowl past with their spotlights on the house where these people moved in. They didn't stop but they sure took a nice long look at the place.

This should be "interesting".

Watch for people leaving the house sniffing with white powder on their faces.

They don't have colds and that's not powdered sugar from little donuts.

 

[cheerful_deviant]

Maybe you should bake them a pie and bring it over. You know, meet the new neighbors, introduce yourself, that kind of thing.

"Interesting" is a Chinese curse...

Oh I'm sure the place will be watched fairly closely. I'm certainly not the only one in this extremely quiet, old, working class neighborhood who has noticed this today.

Keep your camera handy.

Temptation, but then again I'm not real sure how they would react to seeing me show up on their doorstep.

If nothing else, you'll likely have some good entertainment over the next few months.

Which one?

Free too.

[AppleBiter]

Free too.

Cat

That's the best kind! You know, I don't remember most of the TV shows I've watched, but I can sure as hell recall some of the more interesting neighbors we've had in the past.

When the "Cops" episode with your neighbors plays, let me know!




I'll look for you in the background.

 

[Boxlicker101]

Free too.

Cat

What makes you think it will be free. You might pay for it by having your house burglarized or your car stolen.

As for what camera, a video camera.

I had a good friend who lived on a side street in a little town in Wisconsin. One day some new neighbors moved in across the street.

He never saw them during the day. They came alive when the sun went down, and by dark there were 5-6 cars and trucks parked outside. Music would blast and lights would flash. There were loud sounds that might have been gunshots (or M-80's) and the sounds of women laughing and getting slapped. A couple times when I was there we saw men tussling drunkenly in the yard. Someone yelled for "Rick!"

My friend had certain illegal habits and so wasn't about to call the police, so we just watched. For all the wildness that went on over there, they never once bothered my friend or any of his neighbors. It was like watching TV. We'd sit at the window and smoke dope and watch the screen doors slam and hear people swearing and breaking bottles.

Then one night when I was staying over, at about 2 AM when everything was deathly still, someone drove up and started doing donuts on their lawn in the moonlight. They drove this old beater car around a bunch of times, tearing up what was left of the grass and bushes, and then sped off without a sound, except for the dogs barking in the distance..

The next day everyone was gone.

Some burley guys in a stake-bed truck came and got a bunch of furniture, the house was locked up, and that was the end of it. I wasn't there for that, but one day my friend and I went over and started poking around. The kitchen door was open and we went in. They'd left a bunch of wrestling magazines on the counter, and a phone with a broken cord, and that was about it.

Enjoy your neighbors, Cat. We all need more weirdness in our lives.

Hey there Box,

The entertainment will be free. My car sits in the acrport, locked and alarmed when we are home. (When we're at work it sits locked and alarmed in a locked Parking Garage.) My immediate neighbors on either side are all retired and most of them are bored to death so they like to watch their neighbors to see what's going on. (I found this out both when I was weeding out front and when I was marking out the driveway.) They have nothing against calling the police. (I think they have 911 on speed dial.) Thankfully they can't see over my fence. (The neighbors furhter down the street however are a pair of highrise towers, but for them to see into my back yard they need a good pair of Field Glasses.) That's for during the day. At night I'm normally home.

As for what camera, I have several video cameras, including several security cameras I picked up in a yard sale a while back and forgot I had.

Well-noted, Doc.

Seacat, think back real quick...

Did any of them look like Ray Liota?

LOL, while I do agree with Doc ... I have, and am only guessing, some "dyke" in my hood and every other day (NOT ME! lol) SCREAMS at 8am ... "YOU FUCKING WHORE. YOU FUCKING BITCH." I know she is way down the street, but LOL - maybe she is a fallen opera prodigy? I bet it will be an interesting story! Life always is.
