Special Report: The good, the bad, the future of Alisal
East Salinas. For locals, it’s still known as Alisal, an area known for its many challenges: high crime, high housing density, low economy, low education and serious gang activity.
The City of Salinas is working to turn things around.
Some Alisal residents are concerned their neighborhood is getting an unfair rap as a dangerous place and say there are plenty of positive things to be proud of, including some really great food.
In a KION special report Thursday at 6 p.m., evening news anchor Amanda Gomez takes a closer look at the plan to improve the community that many love and call home.
