Mayor declares 25th Street/Nine Mile Road “a top priority for redevelopment and revitalization”

Mayor Jones’ State of the City Address (PDF) last week gave promise of change on the 25th Street/Nine Mile Road corridor:

Further, we cannot waste the enormous potential of the 25th Street/Nine Mile Road Corridor. This area will be a top priority for redevelopment and revitalization. Our comprehensive approach to economic and community development provides an opportunity to revitalize a commercial corridor that has long suffered from disinvestment and declining market base due to urban flight.

Little bottles part of a larger problem

The ABC store at 25th and Venable Streets, rumored to be the most profitable in the state, this year became the only ABC store in the state that does not sell minis (singles, airplane bottles) due to community pressure. Working with Delegate Jennifer McClellan and the ABC Board, the Union Hill Civic Association worked to make this happen to combat trash and vagrancy along the 25th Street and Venable Street corridors.

Let’s talk about breaking and entering

A reader has sent in word of an overnight B&E on the 2700 block of East Franklin Street, and another has sent in a report of an arrest made in a B&E on 25th Street this morning (though this was apparently not the sought-after Sterling Lewis). The man arrested on 25th Street had apparently broken into a house already, and when the police arrived he took of running and was caught trying to break into another house to hide.

Keep your eyes open for suspicious behavior

A reader writes in with some bad news:

My house was broken into during mid-day on Thursday. They leaped over my fence, kicked in my back door despite being face to face with two pit bulls. They found the dog food and dumped it on the back porch to try and distract my dogs. They then spent quiet a bit of time in my home rummaging. They stole electronics, DVD’s, digital, film and video cameras, as well as videos of my children from birth. They stole piggy banks and also quiet a bit of food…non-perishables as well as 2 lbs of frozen meat, 18 eggs and a carton of OJ.
