If there ever was a project that was jinxed, it's the Morse Avenue Streetscape. In yet another delay on the seemingly never ending project, the workers are currently on strike.
Wonder if that's the case with the Graffiti Busters, too? Quite a few buildings in the area were hit hard a couple of nights ago. If they don't remove the gang tags in the next day or two, I'll post the gang tag markings and locations on the web to help the workers out in locating them.
Oh, one more thing: If you're into watching the local gangs sell drugs and fight in public, I'd suggest a sidewalk table at Act One Cafe. You can call 911 then watch the officers drive-by, which temporarily disperses the gangs into various neighborhood cubbyholes. The food is great and you can join the 911 caller pool on how many minutes it takes for the officers to drive-by and which hole the gang member(s) will hide in.
And, for the record: No bashing the Alderman. Joe Moore has been helpful in reporting the gang markings to the authorities in charge of this process. He's personally come out and reported the buildings in question. Something must be in the water in the 49th Ward offices. I even got a cheerful email from Wayne Frazier. So now it's up to the Graffiti Busters.
