I heard there may be a protest of some degree up at the Old Acroplis Manor tomorrow , does anyone out there have knowledge about this ? Is it for real or just another prince Rumor? I heard it was in regards to saving it for detox or homelessness. Just asking because I love a good protest.
homeless people can sleep in all the empty schools we have . but i havent heard of a protest.
careful - bubbasteve is going crazy reading rumour mongering.
Heard that the porridge was cold on Tuesday so they’re mad as hell and not going to take it anymore
Front page story in today’s Daily News says that a petition will be circulating and that Gina Garon raised the issue at council. The idea was to keep it open for some other group like detox or homelessness. No mention of a protest though.
I think it would be great to have both a detox unit AND housing for the homeless. Sucks that the closest detox is in PG - it would also create more jobs in town, which is certainly not a bad thing.
I have no idea…Didn’t get the paper, it is Wednesday, RIGHT ?
wait till friday you can read it in both papers then
The city is planning to tear down the old Acropolis Manor building and leave a big empty lot. The petition going around is to save the building and hopefully turn it into a drug & alcohol rehab center. I have not heard the homelessness part, but think this is also a great idea as homelessness and addictions usually go hand-in-hand.
lol…that is funny…
Get ready for the walker brigade walking around and protesting.
Slowly.
Seriously though, are they really closing Acropolis Manor down? If so, why? Are they going to replace it with anything?
There’s a new facility almost finished right next to it.
It would only be a good thing if we can actually fill those jobs. We’re already facing a doctor shortage, and there are never enough nurses to go around no matter what hospital you look at.
