Well, since I'm awake I may as well ask if anyone else had info on the
large Riddle Road party today. I followed some of the kids with 'togas'
on to see where they were going at around 12:30 and called the police
shortly thereafter due to the noise and I'm all the way at the dead end
of riddle where the drive to the apartments starts. I can amagine some
of you are still wake as the 765-1212 line was jammed due to calls
about this according to the operator at about 2:15 or so. I haven seen
any problems from this house till now, has it been a problem for a
while or are these new tenants?
Good luck, and good night-Lee Diss 3026 Marshalll
