Sat, 10 Dec 2011 14:11:32 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Jenifer Johnson http://www.tazzadoro.net/2007/12/perspective/comment-page-1/#comment-124 Jenifer Johnson Tue, 04 Dec 2007 02:28:26 +0000 http://tazzadoro.net/news/tazza-d-oro/perspective/#comment-124 I am happy to read your piece and the various replies to it. I now live on King Ave., and have been a part of the Highland Park neighborhood for the past thirty + years, with just 12 years away (in Shadyside and downtown). I believe this kind of incident can happen anywhere. We have seen it in Pennsylvania Dutch country and other idyllic settings. We have a real problem with the loose gun laws in this country and the madness that prevents common-sense restrictions. We have the disastrous absence of fathers, especially in the African American community. I could go on and on.... It would appear that shop keepers must take some precautions, be it installing a bullet proof shield between the cashier and the customers, or hiring off duty policy officers. I do think we should push to have a community based police officer walking the beat. Thank you again. I know I am praying, along with all of St. Andrews, for Michael.

Work for change in the government and stay involved with our community. Let Patrick Dowd and Bill Peduto and of course, the mayor know that we need, demand, expect that along with all the business deals taking place a higher prioity is the health and safety of the citizens of this wonderful (for some) city. Anne Thanks Amy,

It is true that the vacancies left from Peppi's, real estate office and police station made the market more vulnerable. Could we ask the police to reopen their station there?
