Who exactly was firing shots on Ottawa Street late Saturday night or Sunday morning? Julie tells me she was in a friend's back yard around 1:30 AM when he not only positively identified the sound as gunfire, which may or may not have come from two separate guns, but found a spent shell casing in front of his house and handed it in to the police. There was a brief mention at the top of the A Channel news last night, but the police aren't saying anything and I can't find a whisper about it in today's Windsor Star.

In other news, I came across a blog I wish I'd known about earlier. With the decline of the auto industry, Windsor has never been more in need of fresh ideas. Scaledown Windsor is a welcome development and a hub for new thinking about transportation and development in this excessively auto-centric town.
