The only way I will go down to Arnellia's at night is if I have a large black man to escort me. And even then, sometimes it gets tense. I'm wondering how many people have to be shot at Arnellia's before some serious measures are taken. Yes, it needs a better police presence. Yes, it needs better lighting. Yes, there has to be more cooperation with the city to clean up the area. Yes, there has to be a reevaluation of programming and events. And Yes, they have to do a better job of cleaning up the drug traffic. Sheesh. Everytime I go to White Castle I could arrest a half dozen for dealing. But the city, the police and Arnellia's owners can't keep ignoring the problem and keep hoping it goes away. They need to get serious.
