Sirens have been going off in central Night Vale, as a warning about sirens going off in Old Town Night Vale. These sirens indicate that sirens might occur in the general Night Vale area over the next few hours, the which would be a declaration of a current "Siren Watch".

WTNV Quick Rundown - 15 - Street Cleaning Day
Welcome (back)! Here is my series of rundowns of the WTNV podcast, live shows and at the right time novels. Just a bulletpoint list of lore, facts, quotes and other interesting things for quickly catching up or remembering the forgotten. Let's go!
Bananas are hardly that slippery. But watch your step, anyway. Welcome to Night Vale.
Street Cleaners in NV appear to be some kind of horrible creature or entity that murder anything in their way. The method of which is apparently so awful that people willingly kill themselves beforehand so the Street Cleaners can't. They sense body heat and movement. City Council takes a 'definitely pre-planned vacation' to avoid it. They leave Paul (the homeless man who lives by the library) in charge, but has already faked his own death to avoid the Street Cleaners. Cecil apparently has a broadcasting bunker for such occasions. The day passes and survivors emerge.
Weather: “Absolute Lithops Effect” by Carrie Elkin http://carrieelkin.com
John Peters, (you know, the farmer?) has seen an old oak door (a significant thing, comes back up in later episodes) standing unsupported by any other structure out in the scrubland which wasn't there before. There is knocking from the door 'as though there were someone from some other side that does not exist in our narrow, fragile reality, trying to get in.' He has added several deadbolts and chains to the door on both sides, unsure which direction the door opens. He will keep a sleepless vigil upon the door. 'He also says the imaginary corn is coming in real good, and we should have a nice crop to choose from soon, especially now that it will be available for sale at the Green Market.'
Dark Owl Records announces they will only be selling the music of Buddy Holly. Buddy Holly himself will be performing there 'this Saturday' to promote his new album 'I'm Trapped In Between Worlds, Existing Only In the Form That You Knew Me; This Is Not Who I Am; Leave Me Alone and Just Let Me Die, Please.'
NV has wheat & wheat by-product speakeasies. One of which is in Big Rico's 'secret basement space'. This is surprising it seems as Big Rico's has been selling it's menu sans wheat out front. Big Rico apologies (definitely no bribes of any kind) and they forgive him.
The Sheriff has a hoveroffice in the clouds. Cecil tries to teach us about clouds. A lot of it is beeped out, apparently by SSP, as Intern Stacey has to tell Cecil it was censored. He is then handed a red piece of paper by a member of the Sheriff's Secret Police, telling him to shut up about clouds. He promptly does so. He cuts to 30-45 seconds of predatory birds. Sheriff's Secret Police members apparently wear short capes, blow dart chest belts and tight leather balaclavas.
'Sirens have been going off in central Night Vale, as a warning about sirens going off in Old Town Night Vale. These sirens indicate that sirens might occur in the general Night Vale area over the next few hours, the which would be a declaration of a current “Siren Watch”. Please check that your Siren-Preparedness kit is fully stocked and easily reachable. Lieutenant Regis, of Unit 7 of the local National Guard Station and KFC combo store, said that “it always seemed that the only way to live without regrets was just to never regret anything you did. And that seems to be the only hope for the future, anyway. Regrets just bear us down. Regrets just bear us down.” This wasn’t related to today’s Siren Watch. He said that a few years back and it just always stuck with me.'
Night has arrived, ladies. Night is here, gentlemen. Night falls on our weary bodies. And night falls on you too. You too have survived, survived everything up to this moment. Grip tight, hum, laugh, cry. Forget nothing and think many things of it. Good night. Good night. Good night.
