On Entertainers coming to downtown Janesville

Wait, Judith...
What about the neighbors. Have they been consulted? Won't those unkempt artsty types disrupt the peaceful neighborhoods? You just know that street performers and musicians will be using drugs and smoking and littering and making noise. What about the neighbors?
How will it affect property values? Why doesn't the United Arts Alliance have to follow all of the same laws as the rest of the civilized world? Janesville city ordinance allows people to perform or speak on the street, but as soon as they take money, it constitutes “financial gain on public property.” Is it really OK for United Arts Alliance to circumvent laws that were obviously put in place to keep order and protect the welfare of the community? Of course we all love the arts, but this in't the way to go about it.
This is, of course, only in jest. I saw that the project director was quoted and it brings to mind many of the vile rants that occur whenever something good happens in this community.
Have a great day!

Hey folks,
This is being done because Jesus commanded, love your neighbor as yourself. He did't say, love your neighbor only after all the naysayers and those standing your way are silenced. He didn't say, love your neighbor only if it's convenient and you have all the right professionals, and your neighbor doesn't drink, and you have the entire neighborhood permission to do so, and only if there haven't been any problems with any other organization. Remember, it's a group of committed Christians, acting on their faith.
From Matthew 25:
Then he will say also to those on the left hand,'Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire which is prepared for the devil and his angels; for I was hungry, and you didn't give me food to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me no drink; I was a stranger, and you didn't take me in; naked, and you didn't clothe me; sick, and in prison, and you didn't visit me.' "Then they will also answer, saying,'Lord, when did we see you hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and didn't help you?' "Then he will answer them, saying,'Most certainly I tell you, inasmuch as you didn't do it to one of the least of these, you didn't do it to me.'

Doc, There is no location or address listed because it is a "rotating" shelter. It has no permanent site and moves from church to church for a week at a time. According to the website, the mailing address is: PO Box 897, Janesville, WI 53547
