I've often heard the saying "Close enough to hear the gunshots" when describing a person's location in a city genreally. Here it's definitly true. I hear more gunshots here than I ever did at home. I'm pretty sure I just heard a shooting, I heard a gunshot go off, and a couple minutes later the sirens came our direction. It's sad, but I really do think we hear a lot more shootings than we realize. Alex tells me that they're in the paper all the time. I have to head to bed though, Jenny (my roommate is telling me to go to bed.) Have a lovely night, and sorry for the morbid post, but it was jsut something I had on my mind.
