BobbyinLC…. under OTHER at the bottom of the article. All the items Sharyn did not write about, some of which sound interesting.
I am confused by Always post…it does not seem to tie into any of the stories listed above.
Thank goodness someone saw the 3 year about to cross Market Boulevard. Kids will wander so easily. It is good it turned out well. Great job to the woman who caught the little traveller.
“Person sleeping outside someone else’s house” and “passed out next to the tracks”… makes me want to know the back story on those. 😉
