Over the weekend was the Annual Allen Avenue Block party and it was a great success. Except for the residents of Fane Court.

According to Fane Court, They were not notified of this years block party in advance and found themselves blocked in by early morning.

In years past Fane Court, which does not participate in the Allen Avenue Block Party, was able to have access to Plumb 1st when they needed it.

This year when someone crossed over Allen Avenue onto Fane Court. People from Allen Avenue were upset at the driver and approached the driver. The altercation and yelling brought out everyone on Fane Court and a group argument ensued.

Allen Avenue’s argument was you can’t cross our block party we have a permit.
Fane Court’s argument was you blocked us in what else are we supposed to do.

The police did arrive to try and sort things out, but they only quoted the permit which authorized Allen Avenue being closed off as a block party. As of press time it is unknown whether all or parts of Allen Avenue were closed off.

In the end, Fane Court continued to drive to and from Plumb 1st when they needed it . While residents of Allen Avenue tried to block them with garbage cans and barricades.

Hopefully next year this can be resolved ahead of time and people can be nicer to their neighbors who are not participating in the festivities.
