Are the neighbors really watching?I was reading the Revere Journal (as I always do as a resident of the city) this morning and came across a story about the Beachmont area and their efforts to develop a Neighborhood Watch group.
The group was founded by Eileen Mundis and her neighbor, Jamie Ferrell after a scary incident.
About a year ago, while Mundis' husband and their three-year-old were playing catch, the toddler found a loaded handgun as the youngester was trying to retrieve the ball.
My plight against the City of Revere is well documented, sort of. It was nice to hear from my state representative's office and the media that covers the city -- both of which were very responsive and understanding of the issues I've been complaining about.
To date, I've heard nothing directly from the city. I image that's probably because no one in City Hall reads my blog. That's fine, for now.
Regardless, the eye sores are gone -- the orange construction barrel and the Christmas tree. That's fantastic and I thank whomever is responsible for their removal. I know it's a small gripe, but it was important to me.
This is my third post on this subject and I apologize for my followers that don't care, but this is important to me.
I posted yesterday and today about the issues I'm having with the City of Revere.
Today, on the heels of my rants, my wife calls my wife calls and was freaking out about helicopters buzzing around the neighborhood. I knew she was telling the truth as I could hear them in the background. I immediately emailed my contact at the Revere Journal who wrote back:
I ranted yesterday on my issues with the City of Revere. I heard from two invested parties, neither I'll share at the moment, but two parties that can help me get the voice of the community heard.
Apparently, the good folks at City Hall just are paying attention to the interwebs these days because my rant has made some travels far and wide.
So again, Mr. Mayor et al, what are you doing to address crime in the City of Revere? Don't feed me a line about how the police department has been the brunt of a of scrutiny as of late and is regrouping.
I don't want to hear that.
