Tomorrow night [Tues 8/2] from 6-9pm is the National Night Out block party in the 4200 block of 2nd St (off Upshur St near the Hitching Post restaurant). There will be food, activities, a moon bounce for kids, etc. Last year was a great crowd, it's a good chance to mingle with neighbors.
National Night Out is designed to:
• Heighten crime and drug prevention awareness
• Generate support for, and participation in, local anticrime programs
• Strengthen neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships
• Send a message to criminals that neighbors are organized and fighting back
