Ice Cream and Sirens

Posted on April 13, 2017 by previous-student
https://drama20.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Ice-Cream-And-Sirens.mp3

Outside of the Joseph G Shapiro Family Hall, there was an ice cream truck on one of the side streets. Around 6 pm.

Ice cream truck song interrupted by loud sirens. I still don’t know what the sirens are for despite living here for the past 8 months. Pretty eerie.
