She got the proper permit on june 23rd, it does say that the permit is subject to additional authorizization, they have held the party for 40 years. And then it came yesterday revoking the permit because of recent criminal activity in the area. On this particular street we dont have anything of that.

There is a recent spike of crime in the neighborhood, including a march murder and a double shootding that injured a 14yearold boy. Both nearby. 35th District Police decided that having hundreds of people congregate here would not be safe. We dont want to put them in hafrms way. As it turns out, we are finding out its not just north 9th street, neighbors on north 8 street also got notice that their permit was also rescinded.
