"LEE L* LIGHT FEST evolved from the JOY of encouraging and assisting others in finding their Own Creative Niche, and in sharing their ideas and skills with others " The Joy was evi dented in people's response to the 5016 N E Union. Fn Sat , Randy Smrth and The Flirt Band Sun , Walter Bridges Big Band w/Janice Scroggins Quartet Saturday afternoon smack dab in the middle of the Northeast Commu nity, local entertainers came together with the people to speak out against the drudgery that plagues neighborhoods across the nation known as cocaine. Inside/Outside People, along with Royce's Bar B Que Connection, spon sored this event adequately named "The Crack Attack " On any given day, at any given time in the Northeast Community, you may be approached with offers that are hard to refuse: TV's, stereos. European bicycles, VCR's, jewelry, just about anything a (lerson could want for the low, low price of $25 00 Just enough money to run to one of the many crack houses in our community Leel ............................................................. 5700 N E Union.
