Witness.

Hi.

Late last night Max and I were watching tv when we heard a loud screeching sound outside our window fading into our perception, followed by a very audible crunch. Then the car immediately pulled back, switched gears and sped off down 26th.
We stepped outside to check out the damage with our recently roused neighbors.
The One Way sign on the corner is severely bent inward toward our building.
Then we heard sirens.
At first only a couple of squad cars were on the trail, but soon more and more zoomed along the breadcrumb trail of flashing lights.
I think we counted ten?
What could this guy have done?
He must have committed some sort of felony for that sort of police attention.

If he had hit the fire hydrant next to the sign, our sidewalk would be a skating rink.
If he had gone further, our building would have a car in it.

The skid marks are still in the street.

It's strange to be a part of the physical history of a location.
That sign will be bent for years.
