Badness in Lockport.
Apparently, something happened at or near the intersection of Hamilton and 10th Streets here in Puerto Loco. (For you locals, that's the location of the best ice cream ever conceived. It's also where tragic1 used to live.)
Whatever it was, there were three ambulances (four, if you count the one I passed as I was leaving town), and the cops had cordoned off a little more than a block radius around it. That means that traffic on State and 9th Streets, the two main drags through town, was completely shut down.
That? Sucked.
I haven't heard anything about it from any of the news sources, other than the traffic guys on 95.9 FM (the River) telling listeners to avoid that area, because there's no getting through there.) I wonder if somebody got shot, or something. Lockport isn't really known for its gangland violence, but it is known for rednecks and bikers bars.
This makes me nervous. Not in an immediate, batten-the-hatches kind of way, but in a more general sense. I mean, we don't usually lock our doors, and Llama Face and I go for late-night walks on at least a semi-frequent basis. Do I need to start getting worried?
