Amateur Historian Pushes Behind the Scenes History

http://goldenwest.wordpress.com/2009/03/13/amateur-historian-pushes-behind-the-scenes-history/

My name is Will Bennett I’m an African-American male 50 years of age. I’ve been staying with Pinkney Saxton for about two weeks now he lives on one of your properties at 2416 SE Taylor —he’s live here for around 30 years. I was currently live in Gresham in a crack-cocaine infested apartment complex (Village Court Apts). For the past 3 years it’s gotten worst and worst—I had to get out so I could focus more on my project and not on the drug problem at hand.

We received notice about two weeks ago stating that all who live here (2416 SE Taylor) and any guest staying longer than two weeks must fill-out a background check application. With my past history it looks like I’ll be having to find another place to stay sooner than I’d thought. From my observation these types of matters aren’t written in stone thus, being left to the decimation of the resident manager.

It’s also quite obvious that there’s a few other guest of sorts living in other units who have been staying far longer than two weeks. They’ve not received such a notice as far as I can tell.

Furthermore, I have lived here in the past for 5yrs, and my name was on a lease at one time. This was when Bluestone & Hockley started managing this Properties a few years back. I was a good neighbor. I paid rent. I’m love the neighborhood.

I only planned to stay here till I find a better location for me and my project to dwell…I’m actively doing so at this time, but as you know this may be easier said than done.

I ask you to allow me to be an exception to the rule. Below you’ll find a sort of bio about me and my project (see below) Here’s the most recent comment for Portland City Hall From Mayor Sam Adams http://tinyurl.com/276skbu look for Mr. Will Bennett.

My name is Will Bennett (50yrs), African-American male, I’m a peace loving person and believe in community/sustainability. I’m looking a comfortable situation where I can live and focus on my project…see below

I’m Creative Director of Golden West Project I established this project in 2006 for the preservation of Portland’s African-American history. I’ve been interviewed, wrote about etc… and received an award at Portland City Hall. And I feel’n real good about myself.

Due to my past criminal history It’s difficult for me to find a place to rent in the open market apartment. This history was due to a homeless/addiction problem which is now many years ago. I’ve found some redemption in Golden West Project. I’ve become a community leader…I was currently live in Gresham in a crack-cocaine infested apartment complex (Village Court Apts). For the past 3 years it’s gotten worst and worst-I had to get out.

So an old friend of mine just became a double amputee and has just been released from rehab. I thought moving in with him was a wise thing for me to do at this time. I moved in August 1st, but the apartment management (Taylor Place Apartments) will not allow me to live here much longer due to my past history I mentioned above.

Please help me find a decent place to dwell…E-mail me for more details…let’s have coffee
