Horace Lewis and Citizens Against Blight (CAB) had appeared before the mayor and council at the May 11 regular monthly meeting to plead for this emergency declaration in hopes that the city would soon be able demolish it. This structure needed to be demolished in order to end a long history of it being a shelter for squatters and their illegal drug activity. Such activity included gunshots having been fired from or into this house or from drive-by vehicles on more than one occasion.

It seems there’s some type of construction going on all over Crowley these days. While trucks are hauling dirt to and from property at the corner of West Sixth Street and North Avenue F, a crew here works at a different site in the 2300 block of North Parkerson Avenue. This site was once occupied by a residence, which has been torn down to make room for an as-yet unnamed commercial endeavor.
