* Morse Avenue Open Air Drug Market

A Photo Essay





Question for avid Hell Hole reader Nathan' I'm on summer vacation' Moore. Does your father Joe 'I'm always on vacation' Moore know we have a 24/7 open air drug market in front of the Harold Rider building at 1340 West Morse Avenue? What does he plan to do about this problem?

You might already have these two buildings on your Dope Shack List, Craig, but last night I noticed a lot of loitering and suspicious activity by these two building on Sheridan when I walked a friend to her car:

6830 N. Sheridan Road

6825 N. Sheridan Road

We smelled strange odors as we walked past a group of men loitering in front of the 6830 building. There were also a few in front of the 6825 building.

Asking what Joe plans to do about the problem is like asking God when the Law of Gravity will be repealed.

As long as we have our current leadership, we will have the same problems, and probably more of the same.

I'll start calling 311 about these buildings and that corner.

We have a burgeoning new drug corner here, it appears.

They're like roach infestations- until we get really effective "residual treatment" in this neighborhood, in the form of committed leadership that doesn't tolerate slumlords and crime-infested buildings, we are just going to have to "spot treat" by pushing them out of every location as they migrate from one corner or building to the next.

YALL PPL WHINE TO MUCH. IF YOU GUYS REALLY WANT TO SOLVE GANG PROBLEMS JUST CALL 911 WHEN YALL SEE GANG ACTIVITIES. IF THE POLICE DONT SHOW UP KEEP ON CALLING. THEYLL HAVE NO CHOICE PUT TO RESPOND TO THE CALL. KEEP TAKING PICTURES THOUGH AND REPORT THE PICTURES TO THE CHICAGO POLICE THAT SHOULD BE EVIDENCE TO PRESS THEM WITH CHARGES

I USE TO BE IN A GANG MYSELF FROM ROGERS PARK I KNOW HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS. KEEP CALLING THE POLICE EVEN IF THEY ARE JUST STANDING OUTSIDE IN THE CORNER JUST KEEP CALLING THE POLICE. BELIEVE ME THE CRIME RATE IS DOWN THAN IT WAS WHEN I WAS ON THE STREETS. DO NOT BE INTIMATED BY GANGBANGERS. LIKE I SAID IN MY LAST COMMENT JUST KEEP TAKING PICTURES AND OR VIDEOS WHEN A CRIME IS IN PRORESS. AS LONG AS YOU GUYS LET THE GANG BANGERS RUN THE CORNER THEY AINT GOING ANYWHERE. BY THE WAY I CANT BELIEVE JOE MOORE WON THE LAST ELECTION I HATE THAT GUY AND HIS ACTUALLY A GANGBANGER DREAM COME TRUE. THEY KNOW THAT HES MORE WORRIED ABOUT GETTING PAID UNDER THE TABLE LETTING DEVELOPERS COME IN THE COMMUNITY THEN RESOLVING CRIME IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. YOU GUYS REALLY HAVE TO GET TOGETHER AS ONE TO SOLVE THE CRIME INSTEAD OF WRITTING BLOGS EVERYDAY HERE YALL SHOULD REALLY DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. GET TOGETHER AND SHOW THE ''GANGS'' THAT YOU GUYS ARE NOT AFRAID OF THEM AND THAT YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO TAKE THE NEIGHBORHOOD BACK

live in the 6825 N. Sheridan building. The engineers are really good about chasing loiterers away. They generally come down from the oasis and hang around the 4+1 bldgs. The residents I've met in the bldg. all seem to be good, hard working folks. Having grown up in Rogers Park, it's really difficult to watch it in decline. I shopped at the Jewel on Morse, Charrles Variety and ate K'Mars regularly. These name probably don't mean much to you -- but I sure miss the good old days.
