These must be some of the "low income" housing folks that Joe Moore so desperately wants to keep in our neighborhoods!

what do you mean by, "a flash has been given out"?

by the way, thanks for taking the time to post on this blog. this blog and other research i did as a result from this blog affected where i decided to rent. i almost signed a lease at the renovated building at 1340 w morse, which basically seems to be in the center of all of this violence.

I saw a near traffic accident on Howard Street several days ago as I was on my way to check out the new Gale field house. The guys driving the cars jumped out of their vehicles and punched each other. One guy called to some friends he saw nearby to join the fight, and they did.

It lasted about five minutes, tying up traffic on Howard. Both guys involved in the altercation hopped back in their vehicles and sped off. I was surprised that no weapons were involved.

It's a shame. . .a new field house up the street, and fools showing their behinds down the street.
