One of the questions that has permeated the skid row area since the inception of the safer cities initiative has been that if the safer cities initiative in skid row is working then why is there still drug selling in front of the LA Mission? A local community activist asked that question. Apparently the LAPD may have gotten the message. For the past 5 days that spot in this photo has been raided according to residents who were out on the corner of San Julian and 5th street last night. This is according to those on the street so we must take this as rumor only. AS I was walking along 5th street I did notice that there were a lot of people lighting up pipes between Los Angeles street and Maple which forshadowed this scene I was about to see on the corner of Wall Street and 5th Street.
