CPD 18th District Station Tour

The occasional drive past the 18th District Station shows "our new neighbors" have somewhat quickly claimed all available sidewalk real estate.

On our travels around our fine city, a preferred route takes us past the 18th District station on occasion. We first noticed “our new neighbors” starting to hang out on the front porch in early August, but it wasn’t until later in the month that we were first able to snap a photo.

Roughly five weeks later, as fall started making itself known, the first tents appeared. Nice to see the Department of Streets and Sanitation providing complementary garbage pick up given how other buildings with multiple units have to contract with a private provider.

As our crime reporting colleagues asked yesterday, we’d agree that the answer seems like nobody only to add that it further seems that the city really doesn’t care. After all, we got soccer games and Middle East peace to concern ourselves with y’all!

Something Non-Sarcastic For a Change

Shockingly, not everyone wants a Chalkie tee. For those dullards on your list, we designed a neighborhood map based on our homicide map, but without all those mostly peaceful, yet often violent dots all over the place.

Let's Go!
