A neighbor sends in these pictures from Halloween night taken at 480 Commercial Street about 2am. Despite the massive response of 8 police cars and 5 firetrucks, there are no fire or police reports so it was probably just a false alarm.

This is NOT newsworthy.
There was a massive party at 484 (not 480) commercial street, which is nothing out of the ordinary but definitely newsworthy.
I’m surprised and disappointed that no arrests were made. I suppose the landlord is the real criminal though. Note the red drinking cups and random party paraphernalia that was thrown from the building during the party and is now littering Commercial street.
