Lawrence House Back In Court;
Your Presence Is Requested

If you are in or near the Loop tomorrow, and can make it to the Daley Center, court advocates and concerned citizens are needed:
We just heard from the City Lawyer that prior owner of Lawrence House [wants to] take it back from the Receiver.  This is up in the Daley Center court room 1103 tomorrow.

This would be a disaster for neighborhood.  We could loose all the positive changes and bring back all the prior problems.

WE NEED PEOPLE TO COME TO COURT TO HELP STOP THIS RETURN TO PRIOR OWNER.

This case is up tomorrow at 11:00 AM in the Daley Center in Room 1103.   You need to be there by 10:45 AM by Court Room 1103.

Please come and help.
We are told by the 20th District Police that the crime in and around Lawrence House, which was one of the "hottest spots" in the district (another being Weiss Plaza), has cooled off considerably since the new management came in and the security guards put in place. We'd like to see this trend continue for Lawrence House and its immediate surrounding area. The Menetti Family taking back management of the property would be a step backwards.

  2. Are the Menetti's saying they will get rid of the security guards? They seem to be what has made a difference.

  3. Not true, Sean, the Menettis had security previously, but when you have owners who do not care about the property, that tends to trickle down to the security guards as well.

  4. Meg,

    Maybe the Menettis had security, but they certainly weren't effective or visible like the current security guards. The guards might not be the only reason things are better, but they certainly have made a huge difference.
    Now if they could just get the facade fixed...

  5. The alderman Capalman or what ever his name is should consider asking the store owners to get togather a pool of buisniess in the area and hire a privet security company. The residents around Leland and Malden area got toagather in did ecactly this. And guess what no gang members hanging out or selling drugs. The company they hired is Kate's Detective and security inc. And they are armed. the gangbangers will test them but the security officers will shoot back at them. And take them out just like they take out inoccent people.
