Leyland, not Leland

Boston Police say it was Leyland Street in Roxbury, not Leland Street in JP. I don't know which one I would rather it be, though. One is next to my house and the other is next to my office at work.

Oy

Thanks. The BPD tweet did say "Leyland," I obviously missed the 'y'.

It was pouring rain last night!

What are all these people doing outdoors shooting at each other in the middle of a nor'easter?
