    I was wondering what was going on last night as all the police and ambulance sirens and police helicopters making all that noise at that location actually woke me up. Things are bad in the LES especially with drug dealing and junkies which seems to be everywhere down here these days.

    This is why east river park needs to be opened to give some respite from the insanity.
