This morning I went to get my morning news paper at State Line Stationary in Byram and the gentleman behind the counter noticed my picture on the cover of the Greenwich Time.
He started telling me how his business received the gang graffiti and how something has to be done about all of the kids that congregate on the corner of Mill Street and Water Streets.
I told him I agreed with him and that I had heard that there might be video of a car that had the gang running all over Byram defacing property. Apparently the license plate did not render well in the video.
However, the disk with the video had been turned over to police to see if they could digitally enhance the images of the plate.
One customer said they don't need fancy "video tricks", they need to have a couple of policemen to handle all of the kids that are doing this.
I agreed with the customer and said there is a real estate business, called Judge and Associates, just a couple of doors down the street.
The lady who used to operate Rolly Polly told me that after he open his business he got all of his office computers stolen in a break in.
The he has to put up with gangs of kids hanging around his business and people getting mugged in front of his business.
Now the side of his business has gang graffiti in 3 to 4 foot letters on the side of his building.
Another customer started complaining it is not just the police. He said Byram gets covered in graffiti and none of the newspapers cover the story. He said it's like we live in a different state or country.
The residents of Byram know what Byram needs, but no one is listening to them.
