Parties?

So my feature story assignment is on Burrill Ave and how some people feel that there are more parties there this year than there were last year.

I have talked to the Liutenant asking him for the police records, which he told me he can not give me. I know Copeland wants us to like basically make them give us the records  but I'm like super uncomfortable doing that.

I mean I do go to this school and the last thing I want to do is be a bitch to one of the cops. So I feel like my story is kind of at a stand still right now while I figure out exactly how I want to approach that whole situation.

I also need to go do some door to door action and interview people that live on the street next week and see what they say on the matter. Also a little awkward.. but that I can hopefully manage to do.

Honestly, I dont think the partying situation down there is any worse or better than it was last year. I go out on Thursdays but Burrill typically isn't my scene I feel like there are always a lot of freshman out and its always like really drunk chicks being messes and I dont know..maybe thats just been my few experiences.

I'd just much rather go to other people's houses where I atleast know the majority of the people at the parties and I feel a little better about being there ( less girls giving dirty looks..   which I can't tolerate). Not to mention whether the parties are more often or not- cops are always creeping down there..and I'd rather not cause any trouble or be questioned walking home at 2am.

But I mean if any of you reading this are frequent flyers of Burril Ave feel free to comment on this and I could certainly quote you in my story/ talk to you more for your opinions on this matter. Also, if any of you know anyone that lives down there maybe I could grab some contact info and talk to them a little! Thanks :) Hope all your stories are coming along!!
