The first in a very long series documenting the anti- loitering bias found in the Olympian.
» Part 1: Downtown Has Charms If You Are Brave Enough

from PBS.org... Soon after 9/11, an FBI informant made an alarming claim: Osama bin Laden's deputy, Ayman al-Zawahiri, had visited the town of Lodi, Calif. in the late 1990s and attended a mosque there. Moreover, two Pakistani imams preaching at the mosque came from a conservative Islamic school, or madrassa, linked to the former Taliban regime in Afghanistan. According to McGregor Scott, the U.S. attorney who led the federal anti-terror investigation, this was "an attempt by a group of radical Islamic religious figures to come to this country and … establish a madrassa to serve as a recruiting ground."

I've been conciously absent from the downtown discussion recently, but I had something come to mind last night on the way home from the lake.
» Is this issue of "anti-social" behavior basically located on the one block of 4th Avenue between Franklin and and Adams? On the north side of 4th, there is the future former office of the United Way with the almost mythic alcove and the empty storefront that used to be an office supply store before a fire. I'm not suggesting any solutions, but I was thinking that if an uptowner like me would have to name a location as the center of this discussion, that block would be it.
