I found a decent radio show that talks national and local politics. They have clout as a lot of their guests are mayoral candidates. It is called "Back on the Beat with dikk Kay". This week they had Fioretti as a guest.

What was said above, and they'd become drug and crime infested sh!tholes. Crime in big cities peaked in the early/mid 90's and the just had to go as is.

Both my parents grew up in projects in the 60's and 70's, back then it was just public funded housing. In chicago, a replacement for slums that had popped up after the great migration. It wasn't paradise, but it was clean and pretty safe, just a place to get your start and people looked after each other. The crack era and it's aftermath changed everything. Chicago still has a bunch of public housing, but all of the HIgh rises are gone except for Dearborn Homes. They gutted and re did those a decade ago to make them more modern and less bleek. All public housing left in the city now is row houses and senior buildings. Everyone else is on section 8 vouchers(which caused it's own problem here, but another thread).

I go to that target on average twice a week. I’m legit mad. Marshall’s announced they closing their store in Marshfield plaza too. That’s easily the newest and nicest plaza on the south side and 2 of the biggest stores are leaving. It makes no sense.

These companies open “token” locations in black neighborhoods all the time to avoid claims of location bias and then close them within 2-3 years. It’s very obvious and blatant. That goober ass Rush does nothing outside protesting like it’s 68

Yeah, those slanted streets up north such as Milwaukee, Clybourn, and Elston stay fukk up on bad weather days.

The north side is one big clusterfukk when it snows.

Went to happy hour at Cesar’s Killer Margaritas last night, left there like 8:30 and hit lake shore drive south right as the first sprinkle of snow started and somebody had already crashed into the barrier in the S curve at oak street. Fire truck and ambulances were pulling up blocking half the lanes. I was just glad I left when I did
