Try to keep your dollars Local. When you shop your neighborhood, your dollars stay here and often come back to you in the form of increase neighborhood/property value! As Bgosh says, “Local is Good. (and just around the corner!)

Last week, both newspapers featured articles regarding a sex offender apartment complex at 6601 N. Florida in OSH. I had listed it on here as well which drew many comments ranging from “Live and let live, they have paid their dues” to “They should not allow that many in such a concentrated space”.

My feelings are that of the latter. Historically speaking, when they place so many of these ex-criminals at one address, it typically does not work out. Yesterday, proved no exception with this address.

Yesterday, Anthony Reed, one of the house sex offenders was arrested. What makes this extremely disturbing is that this was not his first arrest. It seems that Mr. Reed has a problem with drugs, does not like to register his whereabouts and likes to obtain fake IDs so no one knows who he truly is.

For those that say “live and let live” I ask, is this someone you would want living next to you, your children, nieces, etc?   Speak out.
