		As promised, the topic for this week is going to be the Garapan pedestrian mall, which is currently being built on 3rd street.
		If the guests decided to walk from their hotel to DFS or the Joeten complex, they would no doubt be solicited at least a half a dozen times for massages, nightclubs or other activities we have been trying to crack down on.
		The Garapan pedestrian mall is being done properly, and will be very attractive when it is finished, now let's just make sure that it has the kind of businesses that will turn it into the tourist and pedestrian center we all want it to be.

	Pacific Magazine: CNMI: Garapan Surveillance Cameras Below Expectations
		Surveillance cameras have been strategically installed on every street around Western Garapan to strengthen security efforts in protecting tourists from illegal activities in the area such as prostitution, gambling, and purse snatching, however, the cameras are not proving as effective as they should be.
		During Thursday night’s operation on suspected illegal foreign workers in Garapan, Benavente said they used the cameras, but he noticed the cameras were switching from color to fl and white and sometimes just shining brightly.
		He said the cameras are designed to help authorities come up with solid evidence to back up their claim against persons suspected of doing illegal activities in the area and are designed to work and monitor 24 hours a day, particularly the infamous Hotel Street.

		But he said DPW has yet to fully assess how it is going to ban “sleazy joints” in Garapan, especially those that are already in operation.

		That $6 million investment in "revitalizing" Garapan is, after all, a gamble.
		After all, he does have to fill the governor's shoes when the governor is off-island.
		On the other hand, Benavente's presence at that Garapan "revitalization" public hearing earlier this week offered a very positive image of just how good a leader he is. Benavente was acting governor at the time, yet he not only attended the hearing, but stayed to the very end.

		In view of the fact that this northward push would automatically extend the lines of the two Marine divisions, especially as the 4th Division was required to spread eastward on Kagman Peninsula, the corps commander alerted the 27th Division to the fact that it might soon be committed to the northern line.
		The 2d Marine Regimental Combat Team occupied the O-5 line south of Garapan for several days, and since the whole forward maneuver of the two divisions pivoted on this regiment it was forced to remain stationary until the other regiments pulled abreast.
		Around 1625, as these men were preparing their defenses along the flatlands bordering the sea, seven enemy tanks unaccompanied by infantrymen suddenly moved out from Garapan against them.
