At Street Level 162

 
 This was inside of my arcade. This was a mural with fluorescent paint & a couple of black lights hanging from above. Wanting to create a neon sign image of StreetWise.
 
When I read that article in the newspaper my mind drifted back to when Dwayne Rancifer used to come to my arcade to chill& listen to "Wild, Wild West" on the jute box. Always Kool& smiled a bit.

At Street Level 160


 

At Street Level. Flashback to 2008 & the flood that hit Hammond & Munster. Mayor McDermott Jr. called for a town hall meeting @ The Ophelia Steen Center. And everybody, & they grandma showed up as people were hanging from the rafters etc. StreetWise was there on location videotaping the meeting for Public Access Show in Hammond. One by one people stepped up to the microphone & gave their name & address & then proceeded to put their foot in McDermott's behind. The one common denominator these people shared was the water they had in their houses. You could see the smoke coming out of Mayor McDermott's ears as he looked out @ the crowd. Street panned the crowd for footage that I would insert later on @ the studio. “If you don't like the job, I'm doing then don't vote for me.” He told the crowd as he became unglued. This was the most watched show on channel 21 in Hammond when we broadcast the show. Then the mayor had some consultants go to Indy & moved to abolish Public Access Television in Hammond. Then around February 2009 there was no more Public Access & freedom of speech in Hammond. King Kong flexed his muscles, you feel me? Remember Councilman Higgs brought the house down when he spoke. “I got water in my basement too.” He told the crowd much to the chagrin of the mayor.
 
P.S. Can you imagine a live show on Public Access about N-Word in Hammond?

At Street Level 158

 

 At Street Level- Sources better than a government check told me that Sheriff Martinez has already cashed in his pension. He might be the only civilian sheriff in the state of Indiana.

#85-18660 Police Report
 

At Street Level. For the tourist over here, #85-18660 police report from Gilberto Bonilla Homicide sits inside Quantico Lab. It is our allegation it was tampered with. TBC.

P.S. Quantico has a process that can retrieve material that has been erased or whited out from a document.
