The City Desk blog has posted the following image of the boundaries of the areas covered by the long-in-coming-but-finally-here Shot Spotter. Originally billed as the “Shaw Shot Spotter”, as you can see, it actually covers a much, much larger area.

Hi all:

I live on 6th St between L and M and I park my car in an alley that is accessible from 5th street. Recently, my neighbors have been the victims of property crime. One had his car window broken into and his stereo equipment stolen and in a separate incident another neighbor had his bike stolen. Both incidents were reported to the police. I’ve lived in this neighborhood for almost three years and I wasn’t particularly concerned about property crime — unless say I left valuables in my car or my bike unlocked. I was just curious if there has been a rash of crime, or if it was just our turn. Thanks.

In 2007 I documented the renovation of my house. Prior to that in 2003 the kitchen was done. Both jobs were done by David of Something Different, and I’m quite happy with David’s work and his work
