Seriously Robb, I couldn't let you have your way.
My neighbors and I had a war of sorts last night. I briefly mentioned yesterday about a relatively new addition to our neighborhood. The DRUG DEALER. We, along with our local CAPS (Community Policing in Chicago) office and District Headquarters had a B-B-Q last night on the dealers corner. Yes, it was a balmy 10 degrees. We were grilling hot dogs, drinking hot coffee, hot cider, and hot chocolate and dancing around (as best as one can with all those layers on) to some fine Beach Boys/Jan & Dean tunes. There was a bonfire on the corner where we were toasting marshmallows to put on the graham crackers along with chocolate bars to make S'Mores. Roll call for the night shift was held in the middle of the street (yes, every officer going on duty at 7pm joined us!) instead of at the station. This happened right in front of the dealers house and the Commander addressed them with a bullhorn pointing out the house and informing them that 'these silly folks over at the grill are here to take their street back'.
Then we fed all the cops. They especially like the chocolate donuts. A good time was had by all and then we went inside to warm ourselves with some fine brandy.
So much for the dealer's busy Friday night business!

A great idea from great people!

BOMBS AWAY!
(lobs a balloon filled with chocolate milk at Robb)
Good thing that I stockpiled the chocolates and hid them from Robb's inspectors!
Mary! When you have another party like this one, let
me know and I'll show up! 
What a way to unify the neighborhood.
