Related from WRIC.com. If someone has the opportunity to watch the 5pm news report, can you please provide an update?


Shoppers have voiced their fear of the men, saying it makes them less likely to head out to Carytown. Business owners in the area have also responded with outrage over the group frequently frightening their customers.

Tim Wronka will have more in his report tonight on 8News at 5 p.m. Watch on air and online for updates.

It's pretty sad when the only thing the Carytown bunch can gripe about are these kids. They're the most unimposing bunch of OC'ers I've ever met.....almost geeky.

Now I've spent some time in Carytown at night, often very early in the morning on business. Recently to meet with a film producer from NY and that is an uncomfortable place when the sun goes down.

Maybe these shoppers should take a look at what's in the shadows before they fuss about OC'ers, long guns or not.

Indeed = go a block to either side or down Cary St. a few more blocks and the denizens of the night are just gearing up :uhoh:
