Thusday, April 19th/2018 - Westbrook LRT Station, More Than Just Jehovah's Witnesses Around Today

-
Image
I went to the library today and something was going on inside the LRT station.  What it was, I wasn't sure. As I enter and look around, I'm getting the sense that this is something artry-fartsy. Yep. I was correct. Someone playing a zither-type instrument. Thankfully the microphone didn't work most of the time. And look, some kind of green energy propaganda. This has Druh Farrell's fingerprints all over it. There was a group representing the Drop-In Centre present. I won't knock them.  They are at least a legitimate charity worthy of my dollar. No Mo Mowing?  What?  Apparently this is low-maintenance grass seed.  What the chair, bicycle, and houseplants have to do with anything is beyond me.  I also don't understand the signs. Is he protesting lawn care? Does he really think "mo" is the correct way of spelling more? I'm very confused. At least it isn't caricatures and the money goes to a good cause. ...

Exclusive - Westbrook Soccer Dome Proposal Falls Flat

I sent e-mails to Matco Development and Ward 8 Councillor Evan Woolley asking for comment earlier this afternoon, however there had been no response from either as of publication....

Crime Statistics and the Westbrook C-Train Station.

-
So the main reason that I started this blog was because of what has happened in the neighbourhood since the Westbrook C-Train station opened in December of 2012.  Anyone living and working in the area, myself included, can attest to the fact that once the station opened things around here changed, and not really for the better. Sure it gave us a quicker, more direct means of getting to the downtown core.  What it also did was give crime a quicker, more direct means of coming to the community. It's something that's been bugging me since 2013, so finding myself unemployed and left with too much time on my hands, I figured I'd try to do something about it.  If nothing came of it I could at least say that I tried. So, what could I do.  The idea dawned on me that a CPS Community Station in Westbrook Mall might be a start. I mean, I realized that opening up what is basically an administration station in the mall wouldn't suddenly bring crime in the area to a screeching...
