Dear Neighbors & FriendsYou may have noticed a lot of media coverage of our problems with noisy, aggressive, and even threatening prostitution in the Old Goucher neighborhood. Peter Hermann from the Baltimore Sun first covered this in his Baltimore Crime Beat blog, and later in a full article. Fox 45 also did a story on the problem. As most of you know, this problem has gotten significantly worse over the last two years, and many of our residents do not believe that the Baltimore Police department has been able to effectively address this serious issue. Residents have been threatened, and some have even moved out of our neighborhood because of the ongoing late night noise and crime.
If you care about this issue, please join your neighbors, for a
BLOCK PARTY & FUNDRAISER
Saturday, July 4th, from noon to 4pm
in the unit block of E. 21st Street (between St. Paul & Calvert)
We'll be talking to the media about the problem, raising money to hire security for nighttime patrols, and encouraging local officials and social service providers in attendance to finally come up with a strategy to solve this problem, by declaring our neighborhood an official Prostitution-Free Zone.
Next regular public meeting of the OGCA:
MONTHLY MEETING OF THE OLD GOUCHER COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION
(NOTE EARLIER DATE)
Monday, June 22nd, 2009, 7pm at Lovely Lane
