Ms. Bowman stated there aze so many rental properties in the area, people not working, and so many

by minors. They came down the a) ley, went between the gazages, smoked, and damaged the gazage.
The new owners do not know about this, stated Ms. Bowman, but a yeaz ago, she sent a card about
placing trash cans in the front of the store because the majority of the customers are ldds that buy items
and throw the wrappers on the ground when they leaue the store. The Bowmans drive down the alley

trashy area. If the owners do not care about papers and cigazettes, Ms. Bowman wonders what they aze
going to do about the beer.
