Hello Everyone,
Evelyn Here,
I am addressing this message to those like myself who are dedicated to keeping our avenues, corners, and neighborhood safe and crime free. As you know, there has been an increase in the number of vehicles that are either driving through the neighborhood and/or sitting in driveways blaring loud music that is filled with inappropriate lyrics, which send the wrong message the our young.
Moreover, there is a nest of families on one of cornered on my street, who until recently and because of our struggle to keep their illegal drugs and other crime off our avenue, have been trying to resurface.
I called that corner the “L” because there are a number of houses on it and this street that are involved in the trouble that has overtaken whatever house “they decide” to harass or otherwise create problems for in the neighborhood. It is usually residents like myself who want a peaceful and a drug free neighborhood that they target. It is our misfortune that we have such a large concentration of crime families in this one tiny area.
However, we must continue to report their activities by actively patrolling the streets in our cars and on foot whenever necessary and follow up with calls the STPD when suspicious and oblivious attempts to disturb the peace occurs.
Beware of the fact that these families have used children (their own and other families) in the past to deflect their activities and to discredit residents who are really trying to stop the crimes out there on the street. These crime families are attempting to do the same thing now. I have been the target of such harassment of late and it has increased to the point where teenage boy the across the street planned and attempted to carry out an attempt follow me and push me to drive faster on a dangerous winding road as I drove to work.
The boy failed, and the disturbances on this avenue and other streets in the neighborhood saw an increase in cars driving by fast, blowing their horns, and playing loud music, which could heard several streets over. Therefore, I am advising every member of the crime watch to take care because not only will they using their children to try and hurt you, they will attempt to ruin your reputation in the community with the police department and elsewhere.
Just remind faithful to the idea of safer, drug-free streets and continue to call police when necessary.
The truth about those families has surfaced and they have exposed themselves for being criminals and liars. In addition, these attempts at harassment might be their way of trying to keep us from patrolling our streets so that they can surface with their illegal activities which includes illegal drugs. We must not let this happen.

P.S. As I stated earlier this morning, I wrote this in a hurry. I was rushing and not paying much attention to how I wrote, and it looked to me like brainstorming. I should never post entries in such unedited conditions, but I do believe the major point of the message came through. We have a problem with those families, and I believe they are activity trying to return to their illegal activities on our avenue corners again. So, they bare careful watching. I truly believe they are trying to discourage me and others from patrolling our streets and reporting their activities. Again, we must not let this happen.
I am aware that we never got an additional street lamp on that corner, and those families do not always keep their porch lights lit. This is a great concern because once in addition to their drug activities on the corner, in their meanness they parked a black in the center of road and walked away from it for some hapless driving to run into. Luckily this did not happen and the incident was reported. So now, the only way to be sure of what is happening up there is to go up there. Nevertheless, I intend to call the Mayor Action Center again and try to get one out there. Hopefully, I will be able impress upon the person in charge of issuing those street lamps the important of having it installed.
Evelyn out.
