City Urged to Curb Teen Loitering by Cedar Rapids Businesses
George Hasley, manager of two Jerry’s drive-ins, urged the Cedar Rapids city council to act on teen loitering at local establishments. He estimates 200 to 300 mid day school-leavers, with 45 to 50 at the West location and about 30 at the East location, loitering for recreation without spending money. He warned of chairs damaged by teens and said it is not his job to babysit juvenile delinquents. Safety Commissioner Oberthien and Mayor Canney acknowledged the issue as a community concern, noting it is not unique to Cedar Rapids. Hasley submitted a petition with suggestions for addressing the problem.
