Isn't the fire station in the 1800 block of Bronson? And that's south of Franklin. Very strange -- well, incomplete -- story.

Was this a grown up? I have hiked every inch of these hills and cannot imagine getting lost around here. Keep going down and you'll get to a street. How much did it cost to send in the troops?
