Joe - I don't agree with a lot of what you post, but you DO have a wide readership, even if some people don't admit to it.

For the past several years, the city has received grant money to clean up the Church Street/Doverdale area. It has done nothing for those neighborhoods; if anything, they are worse off today than they were a few years ago. The people who live in those areas don't care enough to get involved - we who do care, are fighting a losing battle, and the city can't be bothered to step up enforcement activities.

The prostitutes and drug dealers are completely brazen and moving into other areas of the neighborhood. There was a "firearms incident" at the corner of Church and Naylor last night - at least 5 shots fired. (I heard them)

Neighborhood Services has been out writing citations, but that really does not cover the problems - who can you cite for the trash in the street?

For safety reasons, I cannot identify myself. But I am asking you to please take a ride around - basically from Truitt to 13 - take a look at Church Street and the side streets that cross it. Look at the store on the corner of Church and Naylor, and the people that hang around it. If you think it's bad enough, please focus your efforts on it. The city, obviously, cannot handle the problems over there.

There is a CSAFE meeting tomorrow night. Go and count the number of residents who attend. (hint - some people used to go, until they got sick of Lore Chambers and her "holier-than-thou" attitude.)

We have tried for years, to help the city to help us. It's time for the ordinary people to take matters into their own hands, and asking you to help us is the first step.

2:05 - why? They KNOW who the criminals are. They also know that a judge will let them out as soon as they are arrested for something. What good would the camera do? (aside from serving as target practice, that is)

SPD has been wasting grant money for years. No results, no accountability, no improvement just more crap.
