"The Positive Loitering group that has met at Leland and Sheridan for the past months has moved tonight to the southeast corner of Kenmore and Lawrence. Please stand with concerned residents at this developing neighborhood hot spot, where drug dealing and a gang presence have escalated in recent weeks. We could really use the support of community members, as the problems at this corner are blatant and severe. Bring a friend, bring a neighbor, but just come out! Our friends at Soggy Paws have supplied a bag of puppy treats if you would like to bring your canine companions along.
The event is being sponsored by the Uptown Chicago Commission and all are welcome to attend. As always, the watch commander and the 23rd District Commander are aware of our efforts and encourage our efforts to take back our streets for law-abiding citizens."
From Clarendon Park Neighborhood Association:
"Please join us at the corner of Hazel and Wilson on Friday night at 7pm for an hour of Positive Loitering. We typically leave it to the group to decide to either stay at this corner or also spend time walking together through the neighborhood. The weather will be chilly, but clear!
Amy will be out of town, but there are "regulars" that have said they plan to be there -- a great chance to meet neighbors and stand for safety in the neighborhood! The police officers for our neighborhood know that we will be out there, as well.
Thank you to all the Positive Loitering volunteers -- see you out there!"
