It’s in response to anonymous that said a Marriott Hotel in Coatesville has to be a joke.
Places change. I lived at 22 and Green Streets in Philadelphia in the late 1960s. The leader of the “Green Street Counts” was murdered across the street and a pack of about 40 dogs lived in the abandoned Abbey across the street. Now the entire area near the Philadelphia Art Museum is very upscale. It actually took just 15 years to go from a place where you could expect to be mugged and there were monthly burglaries to a very upscale neighborhood with upscale restaurants.
An extensive illegal drug business cannot exist without some cooperative public officials.
The drug dealers and drug gangs are still in Philly but not near 22nd and Green. A city government that accommodates an active, vital downtown and an active illegal drug business may be possible in a large city like Philadelphia but not in a tiny city like Coatesville.
Coatesville is a drug depot for Chester County. The drugs the teenagers use in Chester County mostly come by way of Coatesville. I believe that there are a few public officials who benefit from and want to keep the drug dollars flowing through Coatesville.
The government that preceded the “bloc of four” went a long way to eliminate the drug business in Coatesville. The drug business went from as former Coatesville PD Chief Bellizzie described as “an open air drug bazaar” to a place where drug dealers could not live during the Janssen Administration. If you are familiar with the HBO series “The Wire” the Third Season, Forth Chapter, or program, is called “Amsterdam”. The street scene in “Amsterdam” looks very much like Coatesville between 6th and 8th Avenues before Paul Janssen came here. If you haven’t seen “The Wire” it’s in the Libraries.
I think the people working mostly behind the scenes that I believe installed and manipulated the “bloc of four” did so to bring back and maintain the drug business in Chester County. There are plenty of articles in the Daily Local News that, put together, suggest that. I believe the public officials that support the drug business here are losing control and have been losing control since about a year and a half before the election. I believe that public officials are involved with obstruction of justice, extortion, embezzlement of public funds and receiving funds from illegal activities. I think the current investigations that actually began several years ago may bring some of those public officials that I think are involved in the drug business to light.
If you don’t believe all of this, I think you are in for a big surprise.
