I may come back to your Beat meeting later this year or early next year, depending on my schedule. As for the turnout, there was a core group of 5 to 7 in attendance, along with ProdigalOne and myself. I was also rather surprised to hear about all of the problems on Albany. It seems as if Albany from Belmont to Elston is bad.<br /><br />Hi anonymous 7:22, thank you for following, and you're welcome! I am glad you are enjoying the neighborhood. As far as meeting you at a CAPS meeting, do you attend 1733's, or another one?AvondaleLoganSquareCrimeBlotterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16265055037044651064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8688871896061751645.post-66520031263681975872011-04-16T09:37:08.813-05:002011-04-16T09:37:08.813-05:00anon 6:50 it's not that bad.

If you look at the crime incidents in the general area (Belmont/Kedzie/Elston) crime is much lower compared to the other side of the expressway. Like any other neighborhood there's a few problem buildings. The key to cleaning up the area is the neighbors keeping an eye out for suspicious activity and calling 911 if warranted. Graffiti blasters are fairly responsive usually cleaning up in a few days and the beat cops are usually quick respond to calls.riskibus1733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8688871896061751645.post-12611138900997535972011-04-15T19:22:55.649-05:002011-04-15T19:22:55.649-05:00Hi Timmy!

I have been following you for about 6 months in anticipation of buying a home in Avondale (we are here and loving it!). Thanks again for being a great neighborhood advocate and I hope to meet you at the next CAPS meeting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8688871896061751645.post-54023249522210638582011-04-15T18:50:08.528-05:002011-04-15T18:50:08.528-05:00Guess that explains the tags on the garage doors o...Guess that explains the tags on the garage doors on Albany by Belmont. I generally avoid that whole section of my little area. It really is as bad as it looks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8688871896061751645.post-88156928614720966702011-04-15T08:04:26.264-05:002011-04-15T08:04:26.264-05:00Mad I couldn't make this meeting.

I'm aware of the 3200 block of Albany having drug dealing issues but not 3326-28 buildings but it wouldn't surprise me as those two are eyesores with way to many people living there including a few gangbangers. Very surprised about the 3400 block comments which I walk a couple times a day and never see anything out of the norm.riskibus_1733noreply@blogger.com
