Building owner Larry Birch voiced frustration over the vandalism and property damage he deals with on a regular basis as the result of drug and gang activity. "I've lost several tenants because they're just too afraid and I don't know what to do," said Birch, who said the police response was often lagging. Source.Remember, image is everything.

* Drugs and Gang Activity Frustrate Rogers Park Residents
It's not just the 'Broken Heart'. Other news sources see how Rogers Park really is. I wonder how long it'll take for that cry-baby Brian White to call this publisher and complain about the negative view of the 'hood'?

WOW! Moore at a CAPS meeting!
Brian White is one of the good things in this neighborhood. I am born and raized, (I went to North Shore School), in Rogers Park. Lived here all of my life. I have seen it at its best and worst. Brian is not the problem. People that sit at their CPUs and do nothing are the problem. Get you head out of your ass. Craig

I'd ask for my money back
Months ago I wrote about a friend who lived in an apartment over a meth lab. The people below him moved out, and the meth lab moved in.
He finally got out of there (Rogers and Ashland) and since then there have been a lot of calls on the scanner from his old address but no arrests are ever made.
He gave narcotic's what info he had when he left and they seemed to know already what was going on there.
I live just east of there, and you can tell from calls on the scanner that the dealers and gangs are moving this way. Rogers and Sheridan is a busy corner these days.
The beaches should be fun this summer.....
Love Beat 2422.
Hard to believe that the authorities would knowingly permit a meth lab to continue operating, given the really elevated fire hazard these things are known to be.
I'm glad to hear you escaped this place, but there remain other nearby residents to think of.
Would calling the fire dept upon detecting the odor of a meth lab help?
And what does it smell like? I'd like to know so I could be alert to the hazard, because these labs have been known to cause some of the worst fires ever.
Also, does anyone posting here know what caused that horrible fire at Glenlake and Kenmore, in Edgewater? I was walking by the place in daylight the other day, and the extent of the damage was horrific. 12 apartments were gutted, and I thought, someone was cooking crank to do this kind of damage. So if anyone has a clue, let us know.

No it's not. It's easy to believe.
Remember Joe Moore knew about the Ramarez family was with-out electricity, yet did nothing.
Then, when tragedy happened, he tried to cover his trail and cover up for a campaign contributor.
raized like the building fuck head. Ha Ha on you.
Might it be better to call the fire dept when you spot signs of a meth lab near you?
I looked up the ingredients of crystal on the net, and two of the principal ingrediants are hydrocloric acid and anhydrous ammonia- no wonder the manufacture of meth is such an explosion hazard! Every girl learns from her mom that you do not ever combine ammonia and chlorine when cleaning house.
I wonder just how many of the really hot, fast fires I've seen in these parts could have been caused by cooking meth or crack.
So if there is a strong odor of ammonia lingering in the halls, or acetone (smells like nail polish remover), perhaps you want to call the fire dept and have them check it out. Call your landlords and/or condo board and tell them what you suspect and URGE them to make a closer inspection and take immediate remedial action, which is calling the authorities in.
It almost always means a temporary evacuation pursuant to a cleanup, which must be conducted by HAZMAT-certified personnel, given the extremely volatile and toxic chemicals involved in making this garbage.
