There's always someone shooting up heroin in the bathroom, in one of the stalls. This has been common practice for years and will continue to be. Uptown is a cesspool for the homeless and drug addicts.

The sight of Ryne, Thayer and Punchie Hair Twerkie Littleton marching in support of Starbucks could sustain me for weeks. Sometimes irony sucks. Other times it's damn hilarious. This is the latter. <br /><br />Meanwhile over at Everybody's Coffee..<br /><br />I think what you will see here is that some scalawags were using the Starbucks as a front/base for their nefarious drug dealing. Cappleman and Starbucks corporate will address that and all will be well. Beat cop walking would be helpful too.<br /><br />IrishPiratehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11339255909419333238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1957537260422450632.post-21338494156506215362017-11-05T16:03:31.131-06:002017-11-05T16:03:31.131-06:00I meant 12 yr old.

What is it about Wilson/Broadway that attracts scum?<br />As for Starbucks, I won't be going there anytime soon. They need to station a security guard and security cameras. You can't expect those young (college) baristas to police the place.

He begs corporate chains to open businesses- Ross for Less, Sonic- but then puts out a communication like this. I have an idea, why don't the police stop by this spot 3 or 4 times a night if it is well known to everyone that drug dealing is going on here? A cop walking a beat would go a long way. Get funding for that and quit pointing fingers.

Cappleman knows well that the issue here is crime, not Starbucks management.<br />Anyone who wants to sign a petition to support this particular Starbucks can find a link to Change-dot-org at Uptown Outside.Beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03773568764820559409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1957537260422450632.post-4972093881183766472017-11-04T17:55:25.230-05:002017-11-04T17:55:25.230-05:00Maybe the alderman should embrace the businesses i...Maybe the alderman should embrace the businesses in the area. Also, maybe he can stop the drug dealing that is si blatantly obvious just 50 feet from his office door.
