Great Day for the Leon Terrace Block Party

Aug 15th, 2009

The residents of the Leon Terrace Block Club have something to celebrate this summer, and they did it with a good old fashioned block party.

With the help of Rose Pritchett of Safe & Sound, Milwaukee Police and the Community Prosecution Unit, they were able to bring the bring the hammer down on a local hotel turned party spot. It was a case of an abandoned property that was being used illegally as an all night hang out for drugs and prostitution; even using generators and extension cords when the electricity got cut off. The loud music and sketchy crowd was just too much for residents to handle and Rose was integral in facilitating the communication between residents and law enforcement to get the property back under control.

It’s really great to see everyone out in the street enjoying their neighborhood. It’s time for them to have the party.
