The husband was walking home yesterday afternoon and witnessed some serious police action on Orlando between 3rd and Blackburn.  Not sure what the outcome was but it would be really frightening if you were just some family leaving the mall. Here is his account:

Saturday, March 8th from 2:00PM-4:00PM, Nick Cannon (misspelling is on the flyer, not here) will be at Bloomingdale’s at the Beverly Center registering people to vote, alongside the debut of the Rock the Vote collection by Society.
On a side note, can you believe Nick Cannon has done 16 movies since Drumline?! I challenge you to […]
