Hey. :) Yeah, Penhurst had a block club with lots of active members for several years. When I first moved in (back in '98) it was going through an up-swing, reaching it's height in 2001. From 2002 through 2004 it decreased from about 25 active members down to about 5. Seems to wax and wane based on how upset people are about crime/drugs on or near Penhurst. The 99/2000 swing was a direct result of crack sales on Thurston, and the resulting robberies, vandalism, and garbage flowing down our street from there. After the '02 crime initiative that focused on cleaning up Thurston, the group slowly fell apart, as people became less involved.
I would love to catch you up on the history of the block club. I have lots of documentation, pictures, etc. :)
