Location • Pad Thai Restaurant is located in downtown area by Phoenix Park and next to the Eau Claire post office. The location is in a new development in Eau Claire downtown area. Current there are new building being build there and the whole area is being remodel now. Across the street from the restaurant there is about three block of land that is empty and ready to use. From what I hear about the empty land they are going to build high end condos and business in the first floor of the building. Currently in the area they have the RCU head quarter build at the park and around it, they build condos and business located in the first floor. • Pad Thai Restaurant
Surrounding Environment • Some of those businesses are old establishment and some are new to area. In that are there is three bars, one bar is an old bar. It has been there ever since I was still in high school. That bar has a lot of bikers that come by some time and drink there with their load motorcycle. I have gone there and drink there sometime. The beer there are cheap, what I mean is that it cost less than most bar for the same items. The crowd that comes there are older crowd in the community. As I walk around the bar, the lighting is low and there are four to five bar stool in the lobby area where people could come and sit with their friend and have a nice conversation. The last time I was there, there a lot of people but mostly keep to them self and are very friendly there. Across the street from there is scooter the only gay bar in town. Scooter is a bar that is for everyone in the community that is gay and not gay to hang around. I have been in scooter lots of time. It is a friendly bar. Most of the people that are there are gays in the community, but some time straight guy such as I go there just to have a nice drink and relax. Scooter is a very simple bar, first you enter through the front door. To you right there are seats stool for people to seats and enjoy their beer and friends, then to your left from the entrance to the middle of the bar is

From the entrance straight down to the other end of the wall also a big flat screen hanging there. The area is pretty much canvas with sport items, but mostly the area is canvas with Green Bay Packer items. At that side of the bar there is an exit that leads out of the bar, that lead to the bathroom and an outside patio where you could enjoy you beer outside with the environment. I have visited there a lot of time and enjoy socializing there with friend and people that are there. I have never seen a violent case there. The worst case that I see there are when someone drink too much and the bartender stop his drink and order a cab or as him to step out of the bar. Also in the area there is a library, hope gospel mission for people that what to straight there life, two coffee shops around there too, state theater, two Banks, hotel, computer repair shop and small business around there. Right across from scooter you can see Hope Gospel Mission and the library. I have volunteer at Hope Gospel Mission before. The area is every secure. The front door and back are lock. Only authorize personal are authorize to enter the area. When enter from the door there is an office to the right, where there is someone is always there to ask you to state your business first, so they know where to lead you. When you walk in it will be to the dining hall where all the resident can have their prepare foods there. At the end of the dining hall is where the food for the resident are

From the front door of Hope Gospel Mission is the library. The library has been there ever since I was just a kid in the area. The library has two floors. As you enter the library from the front door you will walk through two detector that can detect book that are being check out when you walk through it. Then you will get to the center of the library. In front you will see the help desk area or information area and alongside of that are rows of computer for people that do not have computer to use. Then right side, you will enter into the children area. Where there are children books and computers. To the left side of it are the checkout counter, where you can check out all the items that you want to check out and an elevator that can take you to the second floor. From the center to all around the first floor are shelve of books. Also from the center to there is a stairway to the second floor where you can walk up. On the second floor is where you check out the video, magazine and more books that the libraries have. From the stair entering into the second floor to the right side is the teenager area. Where there are books, computers and study area for teenager to come and enjoy their study with their friend there, also in that area is the art gallery where local artist get their chance to hang their art work for the community to see. To the right is my favorite place to go to, which is where all the computer books are at. I have spent many hours there looking at computer books or just stare at the catalog that they have there. Over there is also a table where I could sit there and go in my laptop or just study there. But my favorite place to study will have to

Next door from Hope Gospel Mission kitchens is the State Theaters, you first enter at the front door is the ticket counter where you can make purchase of event ticket there. As you move into the second door is where you give you ticket to the worker there, then you will be in the lobby of the theater. In front are door where you can enter into the theater. The theater has two levels. The second levels are for the VIP group. The first floor doors enter into the first floor seats. It is setup just like a movie theater seats, where there is middle and both side walk through and the stage is at the end of the seats. Right across the theater is a bank call US Banks, which is where I bank. The whole building is run by US Banks. The first floor is for banking transaction and above that are offices for the bank. Behind the bank is the Ramada hotel where all business people that come to the town would most likely stay and a convention center for business or entertainment events there. In that are also contain small local shops, such as coffee shop, food shop, bars, and banks. This area in traffic wise contain mostly one way traffics, all of the major street in the area are one ways. Some time I would see out of Towner drive up a one way street in the wrong direction. But all the streets that are located out of the downtown area return back to be two ways driving streets.

CRIME PREVENTION / SECURITY EVALUATION • Currently there is no system or policy that the manager have in place, but one worker did say that that there is just only two cameras that record activity after the store is close. The security procedure that is in place now is that everyone that work there are to report any crime to the owner (Yeng J yang). • For now I would not recommend any change until the environment have been established. I have also come to the conclusion that the current system is the most cost effective to the restaurant for now. I have come to the conclusion that the neighborhood where the store located is a very safe area and a growing area. Since he started the restaurant has not had any crime there. Everyone that I approach there or talk to is very friendly, but is still a growing community. According to the city crime report there is not a lot happening there except minor thing happen here and there.
