One of those shots crashed through a rear window and then through a seat belt of the victim's car, Savoia said......................>>>>..........................>>>>...............Read more: http://www.timesunion.com/AspS.....2/2010#ixzz0uPGrlTQe

And that's why professionals and businesses are moving out in droves. Can anyone say rising gang violence? With all these shootings nobody mentions the gangs. What was the Mayor's comment? Is he still shocked? More like shell shocked.
Great point MT. I believe "The City" has now dwindled itself into the small stretch of State Street running from Proctors to just about Erie Boulevard. At least, this is the only section Stratton & Council focus any and all attention, money and efforts on.
Oh, the Mayor knows of the Hill, Bellevue and the GE Plot - it's where the slumlords and strapped taxpayers are. Without them there would be no disposable cash to fund the yellow brick road to Proctors.
He didn't know where McClellan St was-no way he could find Furman. Maybe the Deputy Mayor could show the way?
McQueen is right but don't forget to add lower Broadway and Erie to the favorite list. Upper Broadway is like Beirut after the civil war. A two block "renaissance" with the rest of the City in ruins.
