Some local groups are joining forces to take back 118th Avenue.

The "We Believe in 118" committee was formed back in November. It's mission is to stop the sale of drug paraphernalia and weapons on the Avenue.

Until recently, you could buy crack pipes, machetes and throwing knives in some of the same stores where you'd pick up kids toys and groceries. The "We Believe in 118" committee has convinced three businesses to stop selling weapons and drug paraphernalia.

At 5pm Thursday, the community will gather in front of the Avenue theatre to ask remaining businesses to stop the practice.

Guest speakers on hand will include the Mayor, city councilors and business owners.(sb)
