Good morning, everyone. This is my last post on Windy Citizen. I will be back on the old Blogger site starting Tuesday. It's been great being here on WC, earning all of my readers, commenters and even an interview over the past summer. But, due to many complaints/concerns, and due to the fact I've had some hard times with this site myself, it's time to move back. Thanks to everyone for reading my blog both here and on Blogger! It's been an honor serving everyone. And, could I ask a favor of my readers? Even though we'll be back on Blogger, could you all please stop by here on WC every now and then, to read the stories on this website? I think they're great.

Good morning, everyone, it's 8:42am. I've been listening since 6 this morning, but it's been quite. Anyway, today will be my last day of blogging until Tuesday. I need a break before school starts. Also, I'm heading out for a couple of hours later this morning to get my haircut and to travel by myself for a little while. So, here's crime for today.

9:02AM - Assault. 3986 W Barry. At the ASPIRA school. Someone wrote a letter of violence to the school. It can't be read out over the radio, but dispatch has a whole narrative.
