No arrests or tows took place last night following the sideshow activity.

David A. lives near the intersection of Norwood and Bell Avenues and says the recent sideshow woke him up. He adds that in the past year and a half, sideshow activity has gotten worse. 

“Oh, you can count on your fingers how many times it has happened is really become a nuisance," said David.

He hopes something can be done, but he is not holding his breath.

“I don't know what the city can do. They can't just post a cop up there," said David. "I just hope and pray that they can get something done before somebody flip their car over and gets killed out there.”
