Good afternoon, everyone, it's 2pm. Today, I'm monitoring the West Garfield Park community for anyone who lives there. I'll be monitoring until midnight. Tomorrow, I will monitor this community from 8am to 2pm. I'll be back with 25 on Monday. Boundaries of this community are Kinize to the north, Kenton (Kinize to Jackson) and Kolmar (Jackson to 5th Ave.) to the west, 5th Ave. (Kolmar to Kildare)/Taylor (Kildare to Independence Boulevard) to the south and Independence Boulevard to the east.

The free drug give away happens to advertise that the spot there selling dope at is the "best". The area you monitored today is absolutely destroyed by the drug trade which brings violence.
Thanks for that info, americanlt, and I agree, that area is destroyed by the drug trade.
Ever drive or ride thru that area? Vacant lots, burned out and boarded up buildings and refuse thrown all about. These folks that live there created the mess they live in. The National guard instead of the police should patrol it.
I've been through 11, and while you're right that there's a ton of vacant lots, burned out/boarded up buildings and garbage all over, I wouldn't say everyone there created that mess. Most did, but don't you think there's at least a few good people who live in 11? And to answer your other comment, I have a couple of readers in that area, and I do have a friend who lives in 11. Having said that, get the law-abiding citizens out of the area first, then I'd agree with you to bulldoze it.
Hey atleast the citizens call in the drugs sale. As we know the citizens in Logan barlely to never call when theres drugs sale happening in there block.
