Susan Bright, co-owner of Nick's English Hut, speaks during the city hall meeting Wednesday in response to her "Bum Commerce on Kirkwood" note written in early June.  Bloomington residents gathered to express their opinions on how to deal with what Bright defines as "bums" on Kirkwood Ave.  This references homelessness, crime, and panhandling on the avenue.

City Council holds special forum

·

To address the growing controversy surrounding crime, panhandling and homelessness on Kirkwood, a city council forum invited provided a platform for community members to share their thoughts and questions. 

Becky Armbruster, founder and runner of The Good House, stands at the front porch of the building on Saturday. The Good House provides short term housing for patients that come from outside of town to treatment at IU Cancer Center. Armbruster estabished The Good House with family, friends, and nurses from the hospital's help in 2012 after her husband passed away to help people who are facing cancer treatments.

Ever since her husband died, Becky Armbruster hasn’t been good with times or dates. Her life is divided — before and after.

Nick's English Pub's letter demonstrates a need for better ways for businesses to address homelessness but Boxcar Book's reaction demonstrates a missed opportunity for the civic engagement advocates to make a positive impact.

The real reason is that, as a growing number of American students have discovered, Germany wants to pay for your college degree.
