The residents of this building are constantly setting up shop in the neighboring park. They fight, yell and are a nuisance. In the past two weeks, NYPD has been there twice that I know of. Once someone was being chased by a guy with a machete. Politians in the area have a deaf ear to this. I guess they will do something when a tragedy will occur. The park is on 175th and Hillside. You see tents, lounge chairs and plenty of their personal belongings in bags taking over the park benches making it difficult for a family with children to enjoy it.
Hi My name is Rosie Schellenberg. I have been a volunteer for the Jamaica Family Homeless Shelter for many years. I wanted to add unto my favorable comments that the Director, Ms. Pegram, was the best director of this Shelter that I've experienced over 30 years. Many, many improvements have been made under her directorship. I recall one time that I wanted to write all of them down as they were enormous and truly wonderful. The cleanliness, the painting, the dining area were vastly improved--vastly, like I've never seen before. The list goes on and on. Please let her know that I miss her. Lovingly, Rosie
