    Heard ~5 gunshots coming from Delridge this morning around 6am.  Any word from SPD on that?

    I went down Admiral about 8:30 yesterday morning SDOT had salted, and a salt truck was on Avalon. WSB. Can you find out if the city knows where all the water is coming from. We’re 10 days without rain and there’s still drainage coming off the hill. 

Sorry, comment time is over.
