Subj: In honor of Most Dangerous Corner Contest(Archive revisited)

To kick off the Most Dangerous Corner Contest I reprint my call to RT(My
spelling) to ride and view the existing crime conditions he inherited from
SSB (along with the Chief's contract). From the reports coming in from all
'hoods, RT should get on his bike and ride, ride, ride. I remember someone
reporting RT cruising the alley DT as a hands-on action. I have some alleys
that need the Mayors critical eye, in the hood. Has he really done ANYTHING
to mitigate crime and provide safe streets to date in our urban hinterland?
I'm open. Show me I am wrong, please.

It's clear this really tapped a vein of enthusiasm...and anyone else who

the burbs.

Keith says; I did speak up for Wirth Parkway as a mega
multi-destination
many times here. For safety's sake; the more visitors, the merrier. I
welcome
new programs at the Park. I am saddened though, that I am unable to get My
Mayor interested enough in West Broadway av. safety issues to make some
observations there. And take some initiative there. I called 911 at 5 PM
to
report 35 drug sellers lined up and congregating between Bro./Irving north
to
21st av. and around the corner to the drug house at 1402-21st av. (next to
the Broadway elementary school playground). There were also pit bulls
present
and a guy offering car stereo gear out of his trunk. A real comfort zone
for
the thugs and their customers. But not the decent neighbors who are
toughing
it out for now.
I invite my Mayor to take a little bike ride with me. I would enjoy
marveling
at the natural beauty of Wirth Lake, the Quaking Bog, The last faux stone
remnants of the long gone amusement park and other wonders on and off this
glorious Parkway with him. Then I will invite him to a most unique and
awesome wonder just a few short turns of the bike sprocket away. The
deepest
valley in the whole North West quadrant of this city. A spot so low that
some
people who have gone there are never seen alive again. Some people he will
see there, if he pals along with me, are dead and do not even know it.
This
mini-Death Valley is not for a "slow skier", but the mayor can get in and
get
out. All he will want or need is a quick look. Unlike the honest men,
women
and children who must reside there, day in and day out, at West Broadway
and
Irving av. N.
