Some police stations have been targets of shootings.<BR/><BR/>More police could be a key to preventing more shootings. You can't afford more police when you are paying for dry-wall and building fix ups.<BR/><BR/>What's to say that the SS Flats would be the next place for the shootings too. Using your logic, perhaps there would have been five fatal shootings on South 18th street around the police station in 2008 had the station not been there. <BR/><BR/>Silly reverse logic. <BR/><BR/>Emotional decisions can't drive this city. It will fail.Mark Rauterkushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17157914569686528007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7481330.post-51293298269977069022008-11-07T10:51:00.000-05:002008-11-07T10:51:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Mark Rauterkushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17157914569686528007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7481330.post-28461168650392977372008-11-07T10:15:00.000-05:002008-11-07T10:15:00.000-05:00I think you need to address the fact that there wa...I think you need to address the fact that there was a shooting last month at a bar on the same block as this new police station. Cute B&Bs don't tend to like to open up where there are shootings. <BR/><BR/>A great location for a hostel would be down on the South Side Flats - an area where there is convenient bus service and lots of nightlife. I've stayed in hostels all over the world, and Allentown would have been the scariest one I've stayed in. We want to give foreigners a positive impression of our city.illyriashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07729280972013286906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7481330.post-43234348915985975882008-11-06T23:37:00.000-05:002008-11-06T23:37:00.000-05:00Mark:perhaps what is even more interesting is the ...Mark:<BR/><BR/>perhaps what is even more interesting is the stance of Mr. Bruce Kraus on this one. When there was a proposal to move/close Zone 3 previously, Kraus ran around the South Side saying Zone 3 should not move or close...<BR/><BR/>What happened this time? <BR/><BR/>I guess its not important to him, so its not important to anyone else.<BR/><BR/>Chalk this one up as a loss for the South Side.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the brave fight Mr. Kraus.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
