Interesting tid bit, John Candy was born on Halloween.
She may have been the ghost of Halloween past Gerry

 

yes I forgot about that, that chic last night was no ghost lol
I wasn't opening the door thats for sure

 

Sure was quiet here this year, been raising hell for a year and it's starting to pay off a bit.

 

I havent gone outside to look for tricks yet but I think we're ok,
cant truck people in the 'hood,
I have a security camera system as well

 

Looks like January is my month for a camera system, 6 zones, maybe 2 more for indoor looking out. Have 2 emails to mayors office, decent response back and had a coincidental introduction at a community meeting, nothing said but gave him my card, think the email address was familiar to him. An email to the Solicitor general, no response yet but those emails take time. 2 to the police chief, 2nd one tersely but politely explained his first response was bogus and explained the way policing was during the 70's and early 80s. 3 days later the first of several negative police stories showed up in the papers. Sigurd's nephew used to be the staff Sargeant for this area and they had a chat. Been getting quieter for the last 6 weeks, not seeing some of the problem faces lately.

 

sounds like your neighborhood is a better place cus of you, well done Per

 

Cant say that I have been in any spot in Calgary that bad yet Perry, one of our main offices is there, they keep us in the Royal oak area though, and my cousin lives on the south east side. Where abouts are you?

 

Good Morning Ontario! Happy Nov 1st!

 

hey ontarrins...

 

I'm in Forest Lawn Silver, Royal Oak is a nice area, did a lot of work for Acera homes when it was still developing the place. I moved into a house that had been a junkie house for a number of years due to bad property management, the place next door was the same way, the rest of the street was mostly Asian retirees. It was a convenient street for CPS, no one could complain due to language barrier and the junkies had a place to do their act. I moved in and was working to long of a day to see all that was happening until the winter before my stroke, when I had my stroke I became a easy target, a few people found out I'm not that easy. LOL Every city has a neighborhood like mine, all you can do is clean up your own street and hope others notice. Theres a number of us now that are doing our own small parts and changes are starting to happen. Having 5 bars in the immediate area doesn't help but having a strong business redevelopement zone helps and so does the physical upgrades to our main drag, 17th ave se. In 2 years this neighborhood will look a lot different than 2 years ago.
