Baize-Island tenants arrested and/or evicted: The curious view from Main Street.

We're pleased to share great law enforcement news from Main Street, courtesy of the Letter From New Albany blog. Pay close attention to the comments section for each posting. These make for fascinating and informative reading. Will the reprobates stay in jail? Will they set up shop elsewhere? Will the absentee slumlord revamp or merely reload?

Best of luck to the long-suffering neighbors. This being New Albany, you're sure to need some.

Thursday, June 7: The end of an era

I couldn't sleep last night. At sun-up I watched from my front porch as soft light entered my neighborhood. Then it hit me! "My" neighborhood. It felt like MY neighborhood for the first time since I've lived here. Until Tuesday, my neighborhood was "their" neighborhood, but they are all in jail now.

Wednesday, June 6: Candy & Cowboy - A New Albany Love Story

Today our neighborhood is breathing the first sigh of relief, after so much mayhem and so many pleas for help...the folks at "Ho-Island" were all arrested yesterday for drug-dealing and generally maintaining a public nuisance!

This Baize guy seems like a real class act.

I keep waiting for Roark & Tattoo.

Four days now without Ms Ho standing on my street corner waiting and hoping... ahhh.

There is a house in between Rosenbarger & this house with a new family in it.

How sweet it is. We'll take our small wins as they come...

We called and thanked the Chief and he said one of those guys tried to shoot one of his officers, but they were able to wrestle the gun away. It's truly personal with the police now; and we appreciate the work they did in finally infiltrating the place!

Take the trash out!

You're right..a win is a win, but it is regrettable that an officer had to be shot at before any action to shut down "Ho Island" was taken. I wonder..if that incident had not occurred, would we be celebrating a win?
