Hey Hey, Ho Ho, Morgan Ave. Whores Have GOT TO GO!!!
Photos By John Hoff
The latest word on the whore house at 2700 Morgan Ave. N. (and readers who follow my Twitter posts already know this) is that an eviction order came down TODAY and inspections will reportedly be there Monday. I hope they have police back up.
Meanwhile, five shots were fired...
...late last night at Logan and 27th, just a block away. No injuries, unknown whether there were any arrests. Tension hangs in the air as thugs and prostitutes are being displaced. I hear word of an apparent confrontation between a pimp and a public official, but still trying to get the details.
The photo above shows a resident of the Jordan Pond area--dressed quite comfortably. obviously--posing in front of possessions which have been "hitting the curb" from the whore house.
Nothing there worth dumpster diving...in my authoritative opinion.
Great pic of Dennis. It looks like he's trying to figure out how he can turn that pile of junk into something useful for the community.....
ReplyDeleteI tried to tell you... if you go to that public official's facebook page and read one of the long comment threads.. the account of confrontation is told in detail.
ReplyDeleteAlso, you gotta lay off on the word "whores"... you've made your point, now use some of your creativity and come up with a quirky nickname for those working ladies.
Today (sat) i was out cruisin as i do and noticed two black and white patrol cars in front of this house. Being nose I came closer to find them talking to the two women and man on the porch. I figured tellin them to move along since they dont live there any more. I say bulldoze it. That wiil solve the problem its junk anyway.
