Still "Just Like Detroit"
We, at the Chatham Avalon Park Community Council, note that 79Th Street from Langley Avenue to Cottage Grove Avenue, seems to have a young thuggery element walking up and down the sidewalks and driving up and down as well, some to intimidate and harass long-time residents. There are loud police and fire sirens heard every hour on the hour every day. What is needed is more policing with hourly bicycle, motorcycle and car patrols done by teams of police officers on a daily basis in concert with the surveillance cameras already in place at several locations. But, above all, there is a great need for a lot of urban renewal, rather than pawn shops and cheap gift shops that sell hair products and gym shoes. This contagion has effects on the Greater Grand Crossing and Avalon Park neighborhoods to the east of Cottage Grove Avenue up to Ellis Avenue as well. A total rebuilding effort, funded by federal earmarks, would be the way to go to bring back the trendy Chatham we have grown up with.

What is thuggery? Also, didn't CAPCC welcome the "pawn shop"?
thuggery - violent or brutal acts as of thugs
crime, criminal offence, criminal offense, law-breaking, offense, offence - (criminal law) an act punishable by law; usually considered an evil act; "a long record of crimes"
It's good to see that you are still full of yourself. Here is what Alderman Freddrena Lyle had to say about your post http://www.facebook.com/pages/Concerned-Citizens-of-Chatham/79909419550. BTW, if yoy dislike the people who live and frequent Chatham, why don't you move?
It is improper to address the blogger directly, you must only address the material posted, thank you.
What is improper is that CAPCC more directly Keith Tate and Maryellen Drake allowed a Crackhead to run a blog. Improper is that you don't have a clie about basic 8th grade politics. Improper is that you state that you write on behalf of the membership when members I speak with don't agree with anything you say and find these comments offensive. Lastly, if you were a real blogger you would not steal from others blogs. You are nothing but an ignorant, dumbass piece of shit.
I think it is VITAL to address the writer of the blog, since 1) we don't know who you are (i.e. do you have ANY right to say "We at the Chatham Avalon Park Community Council"?) 2)The writer can not really be separated from the material, especially in a post which contains clear opinion.
Also, your straight up plagarism has been a problem as well. It's fine, in my opinion, if you re-post a blog entry. But MAKE SURE you attribute it correctly. We do that at TheSixthWard blog when you have news items. Can't we get the same respect?
Worlee,
Can you have your CAPCC friends post comments on this blog to post their thoughts on the situation. Also, have them post on the 6th ward as well, so we can stimulate some discussion.
Blacks are the people of the evil
Blacks are the representatives of Satan and the black community is the Devil's playground!
Blacks are the people of the crime. A lot of crimes. Where there blacks, there's crime!
