First to Report: The Mess Behind “Mess Fete”Subtitle: This is the kind of story that spreads fast—and we saw it unfolding in real time.
We caught it live—before it hit the news cycle.
Today at around 3:00 PM, a Caribbean "Mess Fete" event at 235th Ct & Hillside Ave turned into something much bigger than a party.
Crowds swelled.
Police requested backup.
Firefighters and EMS were dispatched.
And yet, no major outlet had picked it up. Not yet.
But this isn’t just a heads-up—it’s a reminder of how we consume information now. I wasn’t watching the 6 o'clock news. I was on Citizen, tracking it minute by minute, long before a journalist even hit “publish.”
This is what real-time curiosity looks like:
You see something strange.
You ask questions.
You don’t wait for someone else to tell you what it means.
You watch, you document, you stay alert.
Depending on what unfolds, I expect this to be everywhere soon—your feeds, your group chats, maybe even national news.
For now, consider this your early look. And if you’re like me, wondering how these local events spiral so quickly, stick with Igniting Curiosity. Because we won’t just wait to find out, we’ll follow it as it happens.
