Donnie Boyce says he did not like what he saw on the streets when he first moved to the neighborhood.
“[There were] a lot of drugs and prostitution,” he commented. “I mean they would stand out here and deal drugs.”

“Things aren’t done overnight,” he said. “You have to understand you have to go through a process to get done what you need to get done.”
Marvin Nance, who has lived his whole life in the neighborhood, says the community watch group has brought a welcomed change.
“We used to have an awful lot of street walkers and questionable people,” Nance said. “They’ve helped cut down on that and it’s made me feel safer.”
