Residents Petition to Vote Area Dry
by Dwayne T. Ervin
On 79th Street from Cornell to Cregier, over 100 residents came together recently to vote the vicinity dry. Petitions in support of the change have been submitted to the Citys Clerks Office. Commenting on the crime rate in the fourth district and the correlation between liquor stores and crime, Linda Cohran, Founder of United Blocks Association of South Shore (UBASS) said the two go hand-in-hand.
We have worked very hard with our petition drive to clean up our neighborhood, she said. Statistics show that when you close liquor stores, crime goes down. We are committed to transforming our community and taking our neighborhood back so we can have peace, order and tranquility in our neck of the woods. Instead of watching the neighborhood go down the drain, we need to build it up.
