Two things people are chewing on over on R Lexington this morning, starting with some serious police activity.

Yeah, someone posted asking what all the helicopters and sirens were about last night.

Turns out it was a bank robbery suspect from Berea who wrecked his car and took off on foot.

Multiple agencies had dogs out searching the area. Sounds like it got pretty intense.

Meanwhile, there's some political drama brewing in the sixth district congressional race.

A campaign manager apparently tried to shame their opponent for selling grilled cheese sandwiches at concerts.

Hold on, we've got someone calling in about this.

I just want to say I would personally vote for almost anyone who has sold grilled cheese at a Phish show. That's exactly the kind of life experience we need in Congress.

You know what, that's not the worst campaign qualification I've ever heard.

Right? Nothing says you understand working people like actually working for a living.

The Reddit thread seems to agree with you there. That's what the neighborhood is talking about this morning.
