I live in a mostly Hispanic neighborhood. It's nice because they're mostly families and so there's a minimum of whistling/cock-grabbing when females walk around, which I appreciate.
Tonight, however, there is a HUGE...something going on down the street. I know this because there's a live band somewhere playing that weird spanish-language polka music so loud that my windows are rattling. There's also a constant whispering sound that I recognize as the sound of a thousand voices screaming (all that time clocked at rock concerts in my youth) a couple blocks away, punctuated by occasional whistles and "Ay-yi-yi-yiiiiiiiiiii!!!!!!!"s. I know it's only 7:30, but I'm pretty much ready for bed. SORRY I'M LAME, but I wish this were going on inside somewhere just so I could go over and knock on their floor/walls with a broom handle.
