I need to make a comment regarding the protesting going on around the Little Arabia
area on Brookhurst St. Anaheim 92804 – BECAUSE I read that the City of Anaheim is
thinking about investing a lot of money into centering this area as a “designation area”
-…..
My friends from out of town were visiting & going to DisneyLand & Knott’s Berry Farm
& encountered the protesting going on on Brookhurst St. & were appalled & somewhat
frightened by what they saw.- I was absolutely embarrassed by this situation. It is
embarrassing enough to see all these illegal unlicensed sidewalk sellers with their
handwritten signs that are an eyesore – but to have to put up with a disruptive
political protest like this?....horrible.
This great City of Anaheim is supposed to be “the happiest place on earth” --- & a
welcome city for tourists to ‘come & leave all their troubles behind’….not to be
reminded of the terrible on-going world happenings.
I would be totally against any idea of enlarging this Little Arabia area - & totally
against spending any city tax dollars to make is a designation area. The traffic in this
area is a mess anyway without it being a “designation area”….
I realize that protesting is a right – but I am appalled that this area of middle eastern
businesses would even enter into a political protest like this ! And I hope that the
project of enlarging this area will be put up to the city of Anaheim residents to vote on
it. Thank you for listening. And thank you, Mr. Leon for reading this, if you did……
