New Year's Eve 2011

Good evening, everyone, it's 6pm. As you all know, it's New Year's Eve, the last night of 2011. I'm sure a lot of you will be bringing in the new year with your friends and family, which is a good thing. As for my family and I, we'll be having yet another quiet New Year's Eve with no other family members or friends over. I must say, I like it when it's quiet. It gives me a chance to monitor the radio. Speaking of monitoring, I'm going to monitor 25 from now until 8pm, then I'm switching to some other Zones to monitor for my other blog. I'll be returning at 10:15 with 17, then at 10:30, I'll cover 14 until 11. At 11, I'm returning with 25 until 11:30. Finally, at 11:30, I'm going to take a break until 12:15. At 12:15, I'm returning with 17 until 12:30. Then at 12:30, I'm going to monitor my other blog until 1am, at which time I'll come back with 14 until 1:14, then I'll be monitoring until my other blog until 2am, at which time I'm returning with 25 until 2:15. After 2:15, I'll be gone for the night. Also, for you readers in 17 North of Belmont, ProdigalOne will be doing additional coverage after 8pm. There will probably be another post from her.

Good morning, everyone. I recieved a comment from an anonymous person about shots being fired at Milwaukee and Gresham last night...

"Hi Timmy, Did you hear anything on shots fired Gresham and Milwaukee ave around 615p-625p"

Did anyone in that area hear or see anything? If you did, please give me an eyewitness report on either this post (by commenting), my inbox or the Facebook page. I'd like to know how many shots were heard, how the police responded and what was seen.

CAPS Beat 2524 December Meeting (12-15-11)

Good morning, everyone. I would just like to tell all of you about what happened at 2524's CAPS Beat meeting two Thursdays ago, on the 15th. The meeting wasn't on the short side, but it wasn't long, either. Not many people in attendance. It's the holidays, though. You can't except too many people at meetings like this at this time of year. Now, I will tell all of you about the old issues brought up at the last meeting, which was on November 17th, 2011 . The problems were...

* 2417 and 37 N. Ridgeway - Lots of problems with these two vacant buildings, including loitering, drug-selling and graffiti. Our Lady of Grace Convent was victim to gang-related graffiti, which has been removed. Problems have since died down.
* 2723 N. Ridgeway - Abandoned building; is registered as a vacant building.
* Schubert and Monticello - Many issues with drug sales and loitering.
* 3643 W. Diversey - This building is still abandoned. Scheduled for demolition.
* 3701 W. Diversey - LOTS of problems with drug sales, gang activity, loitering, etc. This is an everyday problem at this location. Sgt. Weiglein has been talking to the owner, who isn't all that cooperative.

And now moving onto the new problems:
* Monticello and Schubert - This corner is still a big problem, with groups of large teens and kids loitering and selling/doing drugs, and etc. They are usually out there from 3:00pm to 5:00pm. This is also possibly related to the problems with dismissal at Monroe Elementary school. (Note from Timmy - I have documented a few calls from this intersection regarding this problem, and as someone who used to attend Monroe, I can attest that there were always a lot of problems at dismissal time. Also, I have the exact address of the problem building, as reported at the meeting, but will not publish it due to liability concerns.)
* 3643 W. Diversey - Still occasional trespassing; building slated for demolition.
* 3701 W. Diversey - As previously stated, there is an everyday situation with drug sales, gang activity and loitering, and this is still a problem. (Note from Timmy - I live nearby and have seen first hand of exactly what kind of activity goes down at this corner building. The problem does not show signs of ending soon.)

As I do in every Beat meeting post, I extend my thanks to all for being involved in this meeting. Once again, I ask for those residents who read the blog but don't come to the meetings (because they don't want to), please, come! It only takes ONE hour of your time, and we need all of the help we can get.

Next meeting: Thursday, January 19, 2012 at Our Lady Of Grace (2446 N. Ridgeway) at 7:00PM.

Thank you,
Timmy

CAPS Beat 2523 December Meeting (12-14-11)

Good morning, everyone. I would just like to tell all of you about what happened at 2523's CAPS Beat meeting last Wednesday, on the 14th. It was a short meeting, with not many people in attendance. It's the holidays, though. You can't except too many people at meetings like this at this time of year. Now, I will tell all of you about the old issues brought up at the last meeting, which was on September 27th, 2011 (which I neglected to do a post about, alas). The problems were...

* George and Kearsarge - Two arrests made for prostitution, which has been a big problem at this corner; one DUI arrest and one marijuana arrest. Special attention was done, as well as contact cards.
* 2800 block of N. Ridgeway - Problems on the block have died down since October; no new incidents to report.
* 2900 block of N. Avers - One burglary arrest; special attention and contact cards.
* 3600 block of W. Oakdale - Three arrests made for crimes such as burglary, loitering, etc.; one crime report made.

And now moving onto the new problems:
* The area of Barry and Karlov - Kids from the ASPIRA alternative school at 3986 W Barry were reportedly smoking pot on several occasions at the intersection and within the nearby blocks.
* Parking permit problems at the factory at 3030 N Tripp.
* Incident on Thanksgiving involving a local drunk and a truck on Davlin. It was mention that the driver of the truck parked at the fire hydrant, fell asleep at the wheel, etc.
* 3643 W. Belmont - Concerns with Latin King gang members loitering at this location, which is a school called "East Village Youth Center", and harassing the school kids as they let out for dismissal.

Other observations:
> As I said, the meeting was on the short side, with not many in attendance. Our Beat Faciliator brought candy and some holiday treats for those of us who were attendance. Everyone was in good spirits.
> Announcement about Danny's Liquors: The next meeting with the Liquor Control Commission about Danny's will be on Tuesday, January 10th, 2012 at 10:00am, at City Hall (121 N. LaSalle), Room 805. Please mark your calendars if interested.

As I do in every Beat meeting post, I extend my thanks to all for being involved in this meeting. Once again, I ask for those residents who read the blog but don't come to the meetings (because they don't want to), please, come! It only takes ONE hour of your time, and we need all of the help we can get.

Next meeting: Wednesday, January 25, 2012 at Copernicus Center (3160 N. Milwaukee) at 6:30PM.

Thank you,
Timmy

There was a large crowd of African-American people (Blacks) near the intersection, on the south side of the street, when an argument ensued. The argument turned physical, with seven to eight males jumping on one. After they got done beating the guy up, they all fled south on St. Louis towards Schubert. They caused some mayhem before they left, though, by jumping in the middle of the street, in front of cars, are running around the intersection. CPD arrived moments later, along with EMS, and several witnesses told CPD what happened. The victim had a little blood on his face. That's all I know as of now. I'll get more information, if I can, from residents in the area.

3:41pm - Now there's a call of a "person stabbed" from the 3:34/3:37pm jobs. One of the fighters got stabbed in the chest.

3:52pm - The 3:34/3:37/3:41pm jobs are coded 19P. Crowd dispersed and no one was stabbed.

4:11pm - Person stabbed. Wrightwood and Lawndale. Male stabbed in the chest and back. Probably related to the earlier gang fight.
