The "Silent March" on Friday to remember the Moroccan who was killed last Saturday evening at the Monaco Pizzeria brought to mind my last entry on this Blog.
I had mentioned how Hasim and Kasim had turned around a pub habituated by drunks into a wonderful family restaurant.
Next to the Monaco Pizzeria in Kaukkovanio where the shooting took place, there are two pubs. Sure enough it was from one of them that the shooter went to the Monaco Pizzeria.
The residents of the area have been terrified of the drunks who habituate these drinking houses, so much so that after 8 pm they do not visit the shopping mall.
All of them expressed in the local newspaper how they were not able to use the shopping mall in the evenings. They wanted the drinking houses closed and turned into shops.
A very valid request in the light of what happen last Saturday night.
I wish the City Authorities will stop lip service and have a review prepared and published of all the shopping malls around the city. Then we would be able to see how they can change the culture where there is a problem.
The Rajakylä shopping area is one which stands out a mile, as also the Topila area and Kaukkovainio.
The real exemplary ones are at Ranta Kastelli, where again the Goreme Pizzeria owned by Hasim and Kasim has ensured that the peace and tranquility are maintained.
Did I write too soon? Am I writing too late?
