There Goes the Neighborhood

We often called most of the houses in Collegetown by the charming name of ghettos, slums, and projects. A lot of them looked like crack dens and halfway homes. But we never thought the police would take the names literally.

Yesterday, the SWAT team (!) raided a house up on sleepy ole' Linden.
Witnessing the event, one college-aged student was heard saying, “I always knew that was a crack house.”

An officer quickly replied, “Not any more.”

The SWAT team would have received assistance from the police, but Ithaca's finest was too busy arresting kids for playing Guitar Hero.
