More Crack Use in Front of the Church...

Illegal activity compliments of Alliance Metals. Where are Alliance's Security guards?

Alliance Customer Urinates on the Side of My Home...

I come out of my house to catch an Alliance Customer peeing on the side of my home. I follow him and ask "Why he doesn't he use the restrooms at Alliance?". I ask other Alliance Customers loitering across the street if they know who that guy was. They say "No"...only to discover that they do, that whey were hanging together all this time and that guy was just too lazy (and disrespectful) to use the restrooms at Alliance.

It's Hard Not to Feel Our Streets are Being Taken Over...

...with Alliance's Customers. Blocking traffic, loitering and openly buying, using (and selling) drugs. These are typical scenes Monday through Saturday when Alliance is open for business. Come on a Sunday and it's a different world. A much better world (I must admit) that doesn't include having our rights to a decent quality of life walked all over. I'm sure Jay would not put up with this in his neighborhood.

Public Urination is also Part of the Package...

Alliance Customer also are seen frequently urinating in public. In the streets. Against our homes. Alliance needs to have more restrooms or keep them cleaner or better educate their Customers to respect our neighborhood and our homes.

More Crack Smoking in Front of the Church around the Corner from Alliance...

All throughout the day Alliance Customers turn in "their" recycling and get cash for drugs which the smoke openly in front of our friends and family. A great message to send our kids.

Alliance Customer takes a Crack Break...

A Customer gets his cash from Alliance, buys drugs just around the corner and smokes his crack hiding between parked cars. Why doesn't Alliance pay its customers with vouchers for food? Instead Alliance helps to enable these drug-addicts souls. There has to be a better way.

Another Alliance Customer Abandons a Stolen Recycling Bin with the Help and Blessing of Alliance...

Around Noon, I watched a gentleman wheeling a recycling bin down Magnolia Street towards Alliance Metals. On 34th Street, just across the street from Alliance, he transfers the contents of the bin into a stolen shopping cart (which he got from Alliance Metals). Once the customer gets his cash, he leaves the recycling bin behind (obviously the bin was also stolen). Jay's business practices allows his customers to dump these recycling bins (and shopping carts) all over our neighborhood and he feels no responsiblity for how his business contributes to the daily accumulation of blight in our neighborhood. Perhaps if Jay lived here he would feel different. Maybe not.
