We had a few homicides in the excelsior district, one that is very well known, the bologna homicides. These tragedies are horrible if nothing else but to help communities organize. Nay street neighbors really did that. They looked out for one another. They reached out. They created relationships where perhaps they didnt exist before. They looked at their neighborhood and thought, how can we make this neighborhood safer . And theyve done Amazing Things. Theyve done greening, they planted last month scores of trees in the neighborhood. They brought the Community Together around garage sales.
