Looking at the parking problems near the Middle School mentioned by Mr. Eberle and the derelict vehicles parked throughout the west side of Gloucester City, the question is why those running our City allow these problems to exist.

Consider, anti-gun politicians ceaselessly propose new gun control laws they claim will stop... Read more →
