we need to keep calling the police EVERY time there is suspicious activity. If
reluctant to call 911, call the Non-Emergency Report # 750-2525 or regular
Non-Emergency # 787-6300 or 787-6302

Thank you for the info, Cicily.
I’ve seen a lot new “hustling” activity on Mattoon and Salem St over the last
few weeks.
Same people going back and forth down the street or around a block by foot or
bicycling.
Glad the police is paying attention.
Remember how bad it was by #66 Mattoon few years ago? This summer is much
quieter in comparison.

There's been a lot of foot traffic on Salem St. lately, centering on the
sidewalk running between #21 and #27 (the Springfield Gardens apartment
building and Rhonda Shepard's house). One or two guys standing at the top of
it like they're waiting for a ride. They go halfway up or down the block,
cross the street, go down the sidewalk behind the building, a different guy
comes back, crosses the street, comes back; two guys walk behind the
building, one comes back....a complicated dance that goes on all day. Today
I was eating my lunch on the glider and I heard a police megaphone coming
from the direction of Spring Street, yelling at a guy to stop. The guy
booked it down the street, hung a left at that sidewalk and disappeared,
followed by several cops. He came back in cuffs and they stuffed him in a
police car in front of my house, along with another guy they had caught
nearby. Constant sirens ever since.
