I am copying below a letter, which is now being circulated, sent by L&I to
neighboring properties of 4224 Baltimore Ave. I'm not technologically able to
put the letter online where you all can look at the actual letter, but if
someone would like to do that, I can scan & send it to you.
The Campenella name may ring a bell: he was the developer planning the
proposed homeless shelter at 45th & Chestnut several years ago.
