Quietness On Fullerton After PR Parade

Good morning, everyone, it's 12am. Man, has it been a wild night for me. I've been monitoring 14 since 5:12pm yesterday, and it has been really wild the whole time. At one point, the problems with the PR Fest were happening so fast I could barely keep up. So, regarding the PR Fest, it's officially done, but the crowds are still out. They're calming down somewhat, but not enough. So with that said, I'll be monitoring 14 until 1am or 2am, and I'll be monitoring south to Division from Kimball/Homan to Western. We'll see how this midnight hour goes. Anyway, I'm attending a Community Garden party this afternoon at Milwaukee and Monticello. It starts at 1pm and ends at dusk, so I'll be gone and there will be no blogging from me during that time. So, here's crime for today.
