The Nancy Kapheim memorial has been put in place at 4th and Brady, although its still covered with plastic sheeting. Obviously there's a lot of landscaping and work that has to be done before the small memorial plaza is completed, but overall I'm amazed at how fast the whole thing got done. Its amazing what can happen when rich people get upset...

Maybe these same rich people will get tired of the crime in our city. Then maybe something would be done about it.
Maybe a rich person needs to get shot by the Howards and then maybe we would get serious about driving them out of town.
sad but true
Is the Kapheim slab a NIMBY thing
There's not much crime east of Jersey Ridge, so a lot of the rich folks don't have to worry about it much.
Poor folk, middle class folk and rich folk; they all are a part of the fabric of a city. There are common threads running through, they all need each other to support their well-being, their safety, their security.
Your biases are showing.
I'd move to their area of town, but I can't afford to. They pay too much in tax and the homes are old and but overpriced. We need to start our own revolution and run the criminal and bad landlords out of solo and then we can have some peace for a change.
Council? What are you doing to get rid of the crime and bad properties?
Rich or poor has nothing to do with relocating this monument. The neighbors were having issues with trash and it did look like someone should be buried there.
The momument came from good intentions just a wrong loction.
Maybe the Lee Enterprises Triangle Monument Campus would've been the most appropriate location.
2:26 I agree that is what the problem was with the monument, but do you really think the city would have jumped on this issue as quickly if it had been LeClaire Heights instead of McClellan Heights?
Nope, it would have been vandalized and partially stolen.
