You are correct about everything, including the "safe" part of Pier Village.
That is probably the biggest issue that AP has to overcome, and so far I think
our PD is
doing a pretty good job at that, but I still think it's an uphill battle.
Last night, my street once again was prostitute and pimp central. But, I keep
calling the
cops, and they keep coming, which is good.
The drug problem still seems big. There is an apt. building near the corner of
Kingsley and
2nd that seems to be a place where alot of dealing takes place...and most of
the people
that appear to be dealers either live there, or make pickups and deliveries via
bicycle.
I also think our city needs more positive PR, and unfortunately the APP is more
apt to
report the shootings then the progress being made.
