Fort Wayne City Police Department Leased Building

Hey here's a picture of Fort Wayne City Police Department. It's in a leased building that our tax dollars rent. And has been renting for over 10 years. Are you thinking like I'm thinking? Yep, we could have purchased a building for all the rent that was paid over 10 years, huh !

Rumors has it that some people got sick, caught cancer after the tire-burning. I don't know how much of the rumors are true. But to have gone to work after all that poison was released in the air makes you wonder?

And take a look at the land where the tires actually burned. Guess what? This land sits right behind the Fort Wayne City Police Department Leased Building. Right behind the police station!


Does it not look dangerous? Well, sometimes, you can't see danger, that's why I'm reminding you. Seeing that water sitting there reminds me that tires burned on this sites for days. Water could not put the fire out. Think polluted, Think Love Canal. Bring your children over and let them roll round around on the grass in the greenspace called Renaissance Pointe.

Greenspace-Phoenix Place

It's a bird no it's a plane no it's Phoenix Place, no it's green space. I know rumor had it that the space behind the police station would become a new YMCA. But the abandoned field, 6-7 acres was to hold lots of houses. But, rumor has it will become a green space for Renaissance Pointe.

I know Renaissance Pointe is the surrounding the Hanna-Creighton area, but who can tell in a photo op? So you didn't hear it from me....I'm still looking for all the houses were to be built for the Phoenix place project and the new Renaissance Pointe. Let me know when the first Renaissance Pointe home goes up, will ya? In the meantime, here's a picture of the field of dreams beyond the police station.






Now rumors of a millions of tax dollars..and one single model home will be built representing the future of Renaissance Pointe.

A picture speaks a thousand words

Kevin Leininger knows a lot of his newspaper readers will never go into Hanna-Creighton Neighborhood. But, I wanted to share a picture that sits right across from Zion.

The library is a small library that is used by Zion Lutheran School, which belongs to the church. The few students who go there. The church is beautiful but failure to earlier integrate has left the church badly in need of members. St. Peters did much better than Zion. St. Peters has brought up lots of land and property close to it's church. St. Peters has paved almost a whole city block for parking, not houses but parking. St. Peters school is long closed, it has been turned into a senior housing. The senior apartment had to offer a basement discount to get any takers. There are no amenities close by except the tiny library with few books, and the Urban League. You can't buy grocery or pay your bill or go out to socialize with friends.

But Leininger see this as a community that the folks who are spending $50,000 to $100,000 to ripoff artists should be appreciative. Do you think we'll see any of Leinginer's children moving into this neighborhood anytime soon? A neighborhood with potential but the city helped pilfer out millions and millions with a smile and a handshake. Folks who are now trying to pay their mortgages but their payments are sent back. Folks trying to call the agency's number but it is disconnected. What city allows such mistreatment of its citizens? Fort Wayne.

If anyone gets any credit for home ownership in the Hanna Creighton neighborhood, look up a guy by the name of Ian Rolland. Rolland tried to do what the local government would not do. And when the city had a chance they ripped off the people, the very people Rolland was trying to help. Some folks need to go to prison.

If the city couldn't build housing for it's citizen how in heaven's name is the city going to be fiscal steward in building a hotel or stadium?
