    Gang area .. I worked there as a voting volunteer and the janitor quit because of the area problems ..at the near by school .. Instead of the
    car wash going in ..the city should build an
    extended public safety office .. I remember Jesse
    remarked in the past of the problems in that area
    he was the former Norwalk Council member ..
