    What about Park ave and 17th ave. Aren't you guys gonna shut it down? We saw the cops walking for only one day. Doesn't make sense. The gas station at park ave and east 22nd is where they need to be and 17th ave and east 27-28. How can these guys sell drugs in the open as if what they are doing is legal. How does PPD and the mayor allow this? If i was running the city there would not be anyone hanging out on the corner or playing dominos on the sidewalks. Disgrace and then you want help from the public. Help for what? To see what's in front of you guys?
