Hi! My name is Nicholas Meiers. My wife Christy Ludwig and I are residents of the 4200 block of N. Whipple, and I have recently taken over as the facilitator for the monthly Beat 1724 meetings held on every third Tuesday of the month at 7pm on the second floor of the Horner Park Field House. I'd like to encourage you all to attend the meetings to find out what's going on in the neighborhood, and report any chronic problems you're experiencing related to crime, or issues of streets and sanitation. Don't wait for something to happen to you or your property to get involved.
