One of the women who worked to get the saunas in Longfellow closed was a Whittier resident who had a business in Longfellow by the sauna. She was in fact a Whittier warrior who worked over here to help get rid of the prostitutes and crack dealers here. She was well seasoned when the fight to get rid of the saunas in Longfellow started. But, I am not stealing any thunder from the Longfellow folks.
Longfellow invested a great deal of NRP money into crime and safety initiatives in the neighborhood. They built extensive block club networks and have done many other things. Things like the "Lights on Longfellow" program, workshops for personal and home safety, home security grants, crime alert networks etc. I think these things helps to make Longfellow a "quick response" neighborhood.
