My street, but not my block. I didn't hear anything. What time did it happen? Odd. Glad no one was hurt.
Oh, wait, I remember seeing a crew boarding a house up after dark. Ay yi yi. Thought it was movie-related or something.
Major police activity tonight from 10:30 - 11 on Perlita...

That house was used for many films, one of which was "Amos," starring Kirk Douglas.
It wasn't just a house -- it was, and will be, the hub for a wonderful extended family to gather during birthdays, holidays and to simply hang out with each other. It'll be rebuilt by summer of next year.
