Town watch is fine but I still don't understand why bike police patrols
have been discontinued in this area. Many years ago the community
contributed $6000 to equip three police officers on bikes. They were
based at the Police Substation at Chester and 47th and they were
extremely effective in patrolling the immediate neighborhood. Now they
have been moved to the area close to UPenn, leaving us without that
protection.

Gerardo,
Thanks for sharing this info. I remember being told of this substation
history without understanding the details.
Since you recognize that "master planners" are making these decisions
without a real participation from the public, you need to consider their
real goals.
If I betted, I would bet that the goal of creating dependence was
operating the same as occurred with the deconstruction of town watches,
and the carrot/stick approach to cultural traditions like the clark park
festivals.
They call you guys "the frontier" to make you feel animosity toward your
neighbors. Then, they destroy your effective strategies for community
and security with false promises.
Ask yourself: Should your helpless neighborhood not beg the university
controlled police state for extreme protection on the frontier? Do you
think they give a damn about your neighborhood when their goal is
dividing the city???
You guys need to recognize that the same "planners" that privatized and
commodified Clark Park never cared for your neighborhood security but
tried to capitalize on your fears. In my opinion, they wanted the fear,
racism and classism to increase in your neighborhood!!
Sincerely,
Glenn

It may be time again to organize a town watch for the
neighborhood(s), since town watch works the best when it is
localized in specific areas.

Completely outrageous!
Too much robbery success in West Philly jungle emboldened the
thugs. Not just the training ground for entry level type crimes.
If I don't hear that these two animals are being apprehended,
that the community is setting cameras to facilitate
recognition of criminals and show some resistance - soon, then
arming oneself will be the only option in preparation for
heading elsewhere, with decent health care system. less global
invasion ambition and spending on expense of peoples' welfare
[in it's true meaning] and education - quiet reachably.
These might be the same two who were clearly eluding
the undercover guys up 46th street [out/into Osage, one in
seemingly popular pleaded shirt] and thus, just a bit in a
hurry, last week as I was coming back home, but not the same
ones who I saw [measuring me the same way though] 15 minutes
after they robbed my guests on their second successful assault
that night couple of years ago when white t-shirts were all
the robbery fashion rage. What are we doing?!
I cannot reproduce the video for police to see [nor even rerun
it for details catching] since my head doesn't record that way
but we have options with technology. What have we been doing?!
900 block 48th is a block or two south of our Baltimore
'business corridor' with Gold Standard and Calvary Church at
that corner. Not acceptable!
Cannot have 'Penn', UCD or police watch every inch of the
neighborhood every minute.

Patty,
Was there any official report sent out last night or
this morning from the Penn police or the police at the
precinct at 55th and Pine?

Hello All,
I am distressed to report that a rape occurred tonight on
our block. A couple was walking on the east side of 48th
St., when approached by 2 teens who took them into a
nearby backyard at gunpoint. At that time, the woman was
raped, and they were then robbed. The teens are described
as African American, ages 19 and 15, one about 160 lbs,
and the other about 5'2" and medium build. Not much more
detail than that at this point, except that one of them
was wearing a plaid shirt.
Please be vigilant - obviously it didn't matter that this
woman was not alone.
