Im glad to see Aikens taking on Gross. Maybe we will see our streets become safe again. Gross you can't blame a poor economy on the mess you hopefully will leave behind.
Very disturbing. I so hope they get this bastard.
Well, this has nothing to do with Gross. This is in Braddock District. But this area is challenged and should be getting more attention then it has been getting.
