Just another typical afternoon around Alliance Metals. Two customers busted for drug use. Alliance continues to fund drug deals with our stolen recycling. It's a terrible drain on our scarce police resources. And a terrible drain our our neighborhood morale. After years and years of no progress (nor action) on Alliance's part to deal with their misbehaving clients it might be time to end Alliance's walk-up business. In reality, it's serving no one...except for Alliance's bank account.
This corner, 34th and Magnolia, is just one of many known drug hotspots (known by Alliance)...yet, where are Alliance's security guards?
Alliance Metal is a Center of Pestilence of West Oakland. Your pics prove it. Plus we've had many instances of theft from our and neighbors buildings. Just follow the thieves to Alliance.
ReplyDeleteI just visited their new website, and as someone that has worked in marketing for a decade, it's an obvious marketing con job to whitewash the fact they are a receiver of stolen property.
Good thing the little triangle park by Alliance was converted into a garden, as I remember it was an encampment for members of the 'scavenging community'.
