For those who’ve just joined our story in progress, this is because the Plaza was trashed on Halloween 2011, and no one has fgured out a better way to keep Plaza mayhem to a minimum on All Hallow’s Eve other than by fencing off the center. Stated APD Lt. Ryan Peterson, “You’ll see lots of police offcers both on foot and in patrol cars out on and around the Plaza, fenc- ing around McKinley, generator lights stands illuminating the Plaza and side streets, and the [APD] command post set-up with location still to be determined.” Above, the morning after Halloween 2011, and a shot taken on Halloween 2013. union file Photos Customer harassment campaigns going well • Wednesday, October 7 1:25 p.m. • Thursday, October 8 1:59 a.m. 7:23 a.m. A small clump of campers A guy and gal attired in black jackets An L Street resident noticed that a needed a wake-up call in the breeze- and blue jeans created annoyance in fower pot was on fre on his front way near a Uniontown cigarette shop.
