There Was An Announced Clean Up: Walnut Anaheim to 15th Street

There was an announced clean up in the MacArthur Park Neighborhood of Walnut from Anaheim to 15th Street. South of 15th, Walnut is usually very bad, especially by the apartments south of 14th Street. It took two days. But here are some before and after pictures. Next week we'll be getting 15th Street starting at Orange and get as close to Junipero as time will allow.

We also helped support the AOC7 clean up on Saturday. It was impressive, because earlier, Mary said she was worried that everybody else seemed to have something to do that day. Despite that, look at the turn out below. Am incredible turn out left places that we intended to clean the next day so immaculate, we had to go somewhere else and clean our own neighborhood instead.

The Incredible Turn out for the Neighborhood Clean Up This Weekend

Community Walk: 03/19/2016: 11pm to 1am

There was a community walk/ patrol through the MacArthur Park Neighborhood on Friday. Here's what we noticed. There was some suspicious activity. The most was a van with plates from Toyota of Huntington Beach hanging out in the lot of Cherry Donuts for over two hours. They appeared to be handing things off in small plastic bags to other cars. There were two passengers. A hale Hispanic driver and a female Hispanic passenger wearing a white hood. The van had a tan stripe along the center and Toyota of Huntington Beach Plates. There was a stocky male Hispanic in orange who seemed to be keeping watch. This is an issue because the van was seen at LB Ice a day later. If you see this van in the neighborhood, keep a close eye on it. The rest of the results are on the graphic above. Everything that Go Long Beach could handle was reported. There aren't enough details for the other suspicious activity to do anything other than keep an eye on those areas.

This Site Will Be Supporting: Josephine Bañuelos Villaseñor

A friend of mine, Josephine Bañuelos Villaseñorr has announced she is running for council against Dee Andrews for the Sixth District City Council Seat. Over the last few months I've witnessed Josiephine's commitment to her community through forming the Wrigley Community Neighborhood Group, her involvement in the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT), Ready Long Beach as she held onto a kindness and respect for all residents, not just those who may vote for her. That's a very incomplete list of everything I respect about Josie's attitude and accomplishments. Since being involved with the community since April and having the privilege of supporting organizations that have brought amazing change to Central Long Beach, the MacArthur Park Neighborhood and Long Beach in general such as CERT, AOC7, WESCA and Litter Free Long Beach I have seen the good that can come out of a positive force, so without hesitation or the slightest reservation, I am endorsing Josephine.
