Seen in Harlem: cops, cats, and conflagrations

If you remove the cars from my street, it could easily pass for being from the 1920s. This has made it popular with filmmakers, who occasionally block off the street, line it with old cars, set up big buffets, roll out RVs with stars on the doors, bring lots of white people to the neighborhood, and "do they thing." I thought that this was happening this morning, when I stepped out and saw that the street was blocked off and there were six cop cars on both sides of my house. I wasn't sure if I was walking onto a set, getting involved in a drug bust, or about to be served papers. It turned out to be none of the above, but I haven't figured it out.

In related news, here is a picture from an apartment fire last week. A unit in a pre-war tenement caught on fire, flames shot up a ventilation tube to the roof, and the smoke drifted down and into my windows. You can't see the fire itself, but the ladder is going to the 6th floor roof. The whole thing was annoying, but it brought out 6 hook-and-ladder and pumper trucks plus two brigade captains and most of the neighbors.

In related news, here is a picture of a cat that showed-up outside my third-floor window. He went away after a few minutes.

There is a cat that lives across the street; he's owned by a black family and named White Boy because of his color. He once got out, leading to the owners walking up and down the street yelling, "Here, White Boy! Where are you, White Boy?"
