Is this even worth the headache

Well a few months ago, I contacted JNS about the bs that was going on. Main question was being how can people have a party at a house that is condemned. Well folks, now the permits are pulled and posted. My concern is I am not even sure if I want these folks to be my neighbors, exspecially if the owner lets his son throw parties, where they spray paint invitations on the front of the building.
As you can see that the spray paint is now covered, with a nicely match paint. I haven't seen the trucks, or repair people nor tracks to even say HELLO, we are working here. I do know that the name on the permits is one Jose' Vasquez.
All tho this is not the said name of owner. VIA the web. ( I think that JNS stated at some point that it takes a LONG time to update those city pages.

Vigil for Annashalike Hamilton

I feel really unaware of what is going on, In the sense that I had no idea who majority of these people were. I think that it is time for me to get out there and start meeting people. This was a sad, event if I have seen one. It is hard to really blog about something that I can not point out who is who. So Johnny Northside if you want the pictures email me and I will send them to you. Stacy

Well Well Well (Take a Look here)




So, I was playing a game with my kids and who was to come knocking on my door...But, Don Samuels. It is funny in a humbling way that he came to my door. He was asking about "Our Concerns" since the homicide of Annashalike Hamilton (See Below) Yeah I have concerns, it is the boarded up houses, and garages, even if my house once was in that manor. The thing is and I told him that, yeah I have concerns.. What about these boarded up houses, there should be a unit, that checks all these houses, If the landlord isn't interested, then the Police should be. This unit should be the kind that opens up the boards and checks the vicinity and see if there is anyone "beaten and frozen inside", even frozen from exposure,this should include but not limited to garages, openings under the house and porches.but, I'm no Johnny Northside, he knows anything that is anything that is going on over north. I told him to read his blog. He admitted he does.
Since the Murder of Annashalike, My cousin and I have wondered why there hasn't been no flowers placed on the garage, so no I didn't put none there either. however, when I pass by there I pray that the man who committed this crime is tried fairly and just. I also pray for her family.In the paper work that Don Left me, It said of And a Direct quote"Please Join the PEACE Foundation and MADDADS, Northside Neighbors and friends, at a PEACE Vigil to remember the Lives Of Annashalike Shanta Hamilton and her unborn baby Kyra Marie Hamilton. We are also joining to show our collective resolve to prevent this type of tragedy from repeating it's self in our neighborhood and city." The Vigil is Tomorrow January 18th, @ 2pm on the 2200 & 4th St. Block.


This is the house 2222 4th st North where the beating and frozen body of Annashalike Hamiton was found, below is where exactly.
The whole thing is like this, These days and times "Do you know where your Children are?" "Do you know who your children are playing with?" "Do you know the numbers of all your children's friends?" My son says I'm too stricted. I also know I have never lost a child, and I can not imagine what these parents are going through.
However, Majority of the parents in our neighborhood, are not even parents at all. I'm not saying Annashalike's parents are like most, (cause I don't know her parents) but, parents today just let their kids do what ever, they are ok that they drug dealers, gang bangers, carry guns, hang out on the block or what ever. Majority of the kids that serve on the 22nd and Lyndale ave are under 17. That is why they continue to be there, cause the police let them go back to their parents. Who, might be addicts them selves, or the child is supporting them the only way they know how, by selling, gang banging and what not.

I just know one thing is for sure, something needs to happen and soon. Something that will change the law, that holds parents accountable for their childrens behavior. I heard rumors that the person who murdered Annasalike was 30, and the Father of her unborn child. (rumors at my sons school) and that he didn't want to be a Father to a underage pregnant girl. If this was the case, and I don't know if it is but, why didn't the parents call the police and charge this person with statutory rape? I don't know if this is true, this is all rumor and hearsay. If you know more then what I do, please tell me. I don't even know if they caught the person who murdered her.

In your Neighborhood, (Like Seasame Street)

This is one of the many houses Vacant and waiting to get fixed. The internet is a wonderful thing. Thanks to Johnny Northside and some web pages to do the investigating on. This house is located 418 23rd st. As I walked my kids to the bus, I noticed 3 houses boarded up and vacant. SO my plan is to take you around our neighborhood.
This owner is ARBOR RTY NPAP HOLDINGS LLC, and of my own heart, from New York! The thing about this is, (please tell me) how can you be a good landlord if you don't live in this state?
09/12BCC1001169Open Dick Stanton $375.25
They pulled a permit in September and Im not sure if any work has been done. It does look wonderful from the outside I wonder how it looks inside.
This house, by my ill memory I forgot the address. I seen all the stickers on the door and took this picture. I tried to go to the window and take a picture but the gentleman at the corner house looked at me suspiously. I hope that I can get the info on this house for you. This is just another look at our neighborhood.

>>>>Side bar note. JohnnyNorthside if you see this posting, your lil comment about 311 must have made someone go and "for real" board up that address at 3020 4th st, I notice this afternoon that there was a board on the door. Yeah Johnny!

I feel so guilty, as I had wanted to be the next blog sensation out here, things just haven't worked out as I had hoped. Upon the loads of excuses I can give all who ever pays attention is that due to circumstances beyond my control I just haven't the time. My husband uses my car so I can't go looking for news. All tho, once his car is fixed (hopefully soon) I can do something that I have been working on. My mother in law has been ill...and well I just got some great news If I get the finacial aide that I applied for, I too will be going back to school. I am proud of my self.

The only things that I could speak on is that the house on 3020 4th st, the door is still not boarded up...but the windows are, which makes no sense since the door is still open. The owners of the house next to me is hopeing now that they have a renter by Feb 1st, 2009 since they didn't get one by Jan 1st. Other then that, I have no IDEA what is the haps. SO, for now I will go until I can post again.
