Grant Street business owners and residents such as barbershop owner Nick LaFornara and PUSH Lead
Community Organizer Brenda Miller-Herndan are looking for ways to stop prostitution

are warned by bright yellow signs placed on street poles that they are being
watched. Local shop owners feel these taboo practices could negatively affect
their businesses, and can only bring more criminal activity to the area. By Jessica Miranda and Ashley Stobnicki
