  1. Have the police make more of a presence? They were there 800 times in one year. So, basically his solution is to have police there full time?

  2. It’s in the hub of the DT CORE .Many inner city issues there…..and no security .and the set up is chaos there..many issues that have not been addressed.40 yrs

  3. Sure….. make the police presence a responsibility of the department instead of McDonald’s corporation. The area is nothing more than a free for all and it is no wonder no one goes there especially after dark.

  4. “I’m lovin’ it….da, da ,dat ,da daaa !”
    Seriously why did that dude bring a baby racoon ? What did he do with it ?
