Detroit Adult Entertainment: Stepping up

October 13, 2009 at 3:49 am | In Detroit adult entertainment | No Comments

A partnership that began four years ago between the University of Windsor and Glengarry Avenue residents has helped drive drugs and prostitutes from one of Windsor’s most crime-ridden communities, and is now branching out to other troubled neighbourhoods. But it took hard work and lots of moxie.
“I had to have somebody with me for two or three weeks wherever I went because I had death threats,” said Neyrda Ollett, a resident and chairwoman of the Glengarry Neighbourhood Strengthening Committee.
“I had three drug dealers on my floor. I’d sit in the middle of the hallway while everybody was going into their apartments. I found out later this one gentleman, he was afraid of me. He was a tough guy, but he was afraid of me, because I didn’t back away. I’d stand downstairs at the lobby and I wouldn’t let people in.

“Then we had prostitutes all night long banging on peoples’ doors. We don’t have it anymore.”
