EYEWITNESS REPORT:
A resident reported a big, big, violent bru-ha-ha outside the nightclub across from the Shell station on North Main Sunday Morning between 12:00 and 1:00. The scene drew at least 3 Police cars, two ambulances, and one fire truck.
Don't expect to see anything about it in ProJo or in the Police Stats.
Because this type of thing is better kept underneath our "Pollyanna" hats. Just ask City hall. That is where they keep it. And they know just where to keep "It".
We, in Mt. Hope, want to keep things "positive" in Mt. Hope. We don't want to offend the "POLICE."
Spoken with sarcasm:
And because we want to give prospective home buyers the impression that Mt. Hope is a great neighborhood, and because if more white, middle-class home buyers buy in Mt. Hope, it will drive all of our property values up, and because the quicker our property values go up the sooner we can all sell and move out of Mt. Hope . . . the better!
End sarcasm
Because, after all, who would want to live here?
Who want's to see junkies every day? With their zombie eyes?
Who want's to see drugs sold every day?
Who want's to live in fear of their home getting broken into?
Who want's to fight a battle every day, that they should not have to fight: to live in peace, to live in a neighborhood where the laws are upheld?
Not I.
You?
