I've known Isiah since he was a little poor boy on the West Side trying to sneak into the Stadium to watch me play, and I'd leave him tickets and sometimes give him some free gym shoes. He was always a good kid who grew into a great player and a great person. So these charges don't reflect the Isiah I've grown to know over the years. |
It's very destructive in terms of cost to the park. |
There's an old windmill frame at Hope Camp and remnants of an old shack. There's also some old fence that was part of the camp. |
We're concerned some of the good owners might be penalized if this is applied too broadly. If the sweeps are in response to complaints or code violations, we're all in favor of that. We're in favor of safe, sanitary and clean housing. |
We've had instances in the past, but not to this extent. This park is set aside for all citizens in the United States to enjoy, and when people do that, it really detracts from the enjoyment of this public place and this natural wonder. |
