it took months and the deal of Chyemil Pierce to get the bike seller & drug dealing off the sidewalk directly across the street from this location. So now they have moved across the street with furniture and have been sleeping there overnight. Hopefully the city will do something about this before it spins out of control again. It's not just homeless people at this location near St Andrews, it's drug dealers and prostitutes all day long

I meant to say death of Chyemil Pierce

Is the mayor and Ms. McElhaney sleeping or what? U see the same crap being reported time and time again. What is being done?

nothing at all - it is ignored by the police and the city adminstration
