Residents in the predominately Black East Jackson community have driven and walked by abandoned buildings daily, either not quite realizing what could be or envisioning something without a way to make it reality.
One of the most visible, passed-by buildings is the former storefront that sits across the street from the newly renovated Lincoln Elementary.
Though the building has been abandoned for several years, that empty wall facing Lincoln will be unveiled Saturday as a mural with vibrant colors and shapes filling up the space of a charcoal backdrop.
The now colorful mural sends a message: “We’re trying to keep our hood good,” said Brian James, board member of the organization that’s doing the project.
Tuesday night s search came after several reports of shots fired in the 300 block of Irvin Road, South Pine Street and East Jackson, just before 7 p.m., police said. An investigation led responding officers to a house in the 900 block of South Pine Street, where the suspect had just entered.
Additional officers from Spring Garden and York Area Regional departments were called in to assist when a crowd began to gather outside the house.
While executing a search warrant, officers found heroin, crack cocaine and approximately one pound of marijuana in the house. They also found a loaded AK-47 rifle and three .40 caliber Glock pistols, including one that was reported stolen.
