I'm sure glad we don't have one of these places on Morse Avenue. On December 19, 2012, Evanston Fire and Emergency were called not once, but twice, to haul away a couple of people who got some bad legal juju, if you know what I mean.
The location of this insaneness is 906 Davis Street in Evanston.
The first incident happened about 8:00 a.m. - and the second incident happened about an hour and a half later at 9:30 a.m. Each time Emergency services in Evanston dispatched at least 6 personal at the tax-payers expenses to remove the people by stretcher who were seeking so-called treatment.
The tenants in 906 Davis Street are called Peer Services, a not-for-profit drug rehabilitation center, which is across the street from the Davis Street Metra and CTA Purple line stations; giving both city and suburban addicts easy access to whatever they're serving up inside 906 Davis.
When these patients are done they usually will hang around the building, the CTA and Metra stop for hours on end. Like I said, I'm sure glad Morse Avenue doesn't provide such services. Our police, fire and emergency personal in Rogers Park have enough to worry about.

Seems there's "legal juju" at any time on Morse Avenue. Any time some one gets a craving, all they need to do is stroll down Morse or Howard Street. Whatchu talkin' bout Craig?
This place is a methadone clinic.
Wasn't there a methadone clinic on Glenwood just south of Morse?
Craig scooped evanston now!
I've been doing some part-time work across the street the past couple of weeks and really, really dislike what's going on around this transit hub.
The treatment center on Glenwood Mike mentioned doesn't have any of what I see going down on Davis Street.
Thank goodness for that.
Thanks for the Peer Services link.
Their brochure blah-blah contains the following:
"Treatment scholarships are available for individuals and families who are unable to pay the full cost of treatment."
TREATMENT SCHOLARSHIPS?? The do-gooders have a great way with the language. Who pays for these "scholarships" in the end? Any guesses? I could use some good juju right now.
BTW I like your poll, I voted for Pritzker. A billionaire investing in Rogers Park, who'uh thunk it?
Greeting Sir,
I am international student at Loyola studying this semester and my professor told me to get in contact with local news sources to discuss homelessness in our neighborhood and was wondering if anyone could give some informations as to how americans treat their homeless and what program exist to help them. in my country Iran we help them great much but i hear not as much here.
Can anyones with informations please contact me here on this internetsite? many thank yous.

Hasam, by and large we hate and despise the homeless here in Chicago, there are those who feel sorry for them but I'm not one of them.
"Peer Services is more harm than good to Evanston"...let's see, that's according to the lone Craig "The Sky Is Falling" Gernhardt, but no one else in his post.
I guess if Craig thinks thinks so, it must be true!
So, you were working across the street, eh, Craig? What, running the cash register at the corner mini market or Vintage Vinyl records, or at Evanston Pipe and Tobacco?
Craig, you are making this shit up. While Davis St. has a few low level panhandling clowns roaming the streets...it is nothing like what you are portraying here.
I highly doubt any of those guys are recipients of the methadone clinic, just illiterate hustlers. Pretty harmless ones at that.
billyjoe this website has become irrelevant so fast that it no longer is on the check list for news. The reason that I keep visiting is that I am developing a story about neighborhood chatter and dysfunction. This site is one of my case studies. There also is a police angle on this that involves cyber-assault. Watch my page for that story.
in my country we help homeless people except for gypsies we donot like them much
Well, I kind of have a bad attitude since I had been homeless myself, it seems a lot of America's homeless have an entitlement problem, a massive one. They expect everything to be handed to them on a golden platter, or at least a Panera container.
The founder of Panera has these bizarre, socialist "Panera Cares" concept restaurants that are supposed to feed these mythical "food insecure" people who are the working poor and struggling and just need a helping hand, but in reality every scumbag who could get there set up shop, starting stealing Fedex packages, fencing the stolen goods, strong arm panhandling people, pooping/peeing everywhere, etc, etc etc. These mythical "food insecure" people are not used to being around more than one scumbag at a time and thusly are terrified to receive such services. I've seen these poor bastards go to food pantries and their culture shock at the ill-behaved arseholes and the rest of the nonsense is painful to watch. Look at my (profanity laden, politically incorrect) blog, I've filmed some of the greatest hits from going to some of these places, even the kindest amongst you would want to punch some of these people in the face after a few times there. Why can't people just stand in line quietly and not cause trouble?
Anyhow...
I solved my homeless problem in about six months due to hard work and following rules and such, but I've seen the same guys for years now and it's been triple or quadruple the amount of time to get housing even on the slowest of lists.
Regarding Peer Services and places like them, there's been a campaign of brainwashing going on since the late 1980's where nobody is really accountable for their behavior, drug addiction isn't just a poor choice to these brainwashers, it's something to be pitied and they need to be coddled, and no matter what socially unacceptable thing people do these days, you can't criticize them, only pat them on the head and funnel more taxpayer dollars into it.
And I could go on. I've been with one of Chicago's most prominent agencies and I almost desire to become famous so I can publicly trash the entire mental health industry on a global level. It sure as hell isn't helping me, have you read the shit I've written?
In my country, we used to get job, pay rent or mortgage, and have respectful life. Now we get Link Cards, smoke crack, and eat white bread. Get moose and squirrel.
I am graduate student at Northwestern University studying how to use social network to make change in society. It is very advanced in America. My sponsor told me about networks in village close to campus. I would like to be here and learn how it is used. I am friend of Hasam.
Mahmoud, greetings. I glad to see you here. thank you Mr. Individual for your thought. i think time needed to tell what best is for metally challenge people but they should not pee on homeless people. that would be wrong.
Hasam and Mahmoud - where did you two come from? The posts are cracking me up! Dangerously unstable has some good points about some people having a sense of entitlement. Look at Gidget. I heard her in that video Craig took say "Buy me a home Rogers Park, why don't you do dat?" Ridiculous! Yea, like the community is going to buy her a home. WTF?
Well, at least the trolling is creative lately.
Buy Gidget a house? Really? You know if somebody did the police would be there so much they might as well open a substation there.
Like I've mentioned before, I know lots of "Shelter Plus Care" types who get almost free housing but spend 18-20 hours a day panhandling and being high or drunk in public, they are not homeless. You can find them limping away from 2700 North Lakeview over to Diversey or Clark to spend some quality drinkin' time by McDonald's, Panera, they did fence off the stoop at Vitamin Shoppe but there's plenty of other cubbyholes to pass out and piss yourself in.
