Writings, issues and observations from Cleveland, Ohio by Will Kessel

I’m really starting to get tired of living in Euclid.

Last night, a group of about 20 very loud teenagers (perhaps early 20s) walked up and down our street, screaming and yelling, swearing, hitting each other, with at least three cars following them, for about 20 minutes or so.

The cops were called; nothing happened: the police never even bothered to show up.

The dispatcher asked about the problem; it turns out that they are keenly aware of this particular problem and are “trying to do something about it.”

Of which, this means one thing: they can’t do a thing.

Their explanation was, “we’re trying to get someone over there.”

They were probably out ignoring all of those ultra-loud motorcycles that roar through the city throughout the night, waking everyone in their path.

Looks like Euclid is on a pace to become East Cleveland in about — what? — 18 months or so?
