The Official Chicago Discussion Thread

I stay on Michigan and Cermak but they got too many cops and trucks right at the intersection blocking it off and all i hear all night is noise, them talking and trucks cranking and cars pulling off so Im back at my place in Bronzeville just so I can get some decent sleep. I mean usually on Michigan, theres this crazy breh thats up all night yelling and singing but I got used to him. Dont even hear him now. Even my damn dogs have gotten used to him but all this damn cop noise outside?

I hate to say it but that homeless nikka on cermak and Michigan is mad annoying. Is that the crazy breh you’re talking about? The youngish dark skin brotha with a nappy fro who sits at that medium across from cdc cleaners? I gave him $5 and he asked me for $10 Smfh. Offered to buy him Harold’s he said he wanted cash instead smh.

Dude is mad aggressive coming towards cars also. I think he remembers me for some reason.

Graduate between 08-12? We probably have mutual friends.

I mean, sure, besides using a fake address. We had nikkas from Austin coming into Oak Park for school all the time. Same up north, Rogers Park nikkas using an Evanston address to get into Evanston schools. Though, I never heard instances of nikkas from the burbs attending CPS unless it was private. I know folks that commuted in to attend Latin and Lab and know some folks that attended Mt. Carmel, but those are private and don't have the residency restrictions like CPS.

I knew nikkas who stayed out west, parents would wake up at 5am just to drive them to HF or rich central. Used they grandma or auntie address

still ended up being losers in life

Ended up making they team and rode the bench for two seasons, he thought he was the coldest running back ever

I heard a passing theory that Lightfoot wants to use the rioting and destruction to help fast path some gentrification in the not so well off areas. People are gonna be looking to sell buildings and stores.

Currently at a doctor's office in Uptown and some management chatter.

I don't believe it, I just think she handled this real bad. Are we still even reopening?

That might not have been her intention but might be an unintentional consequence.

The next five years we might see an exodus from black Chicago.

I see black folks leaving Chicago. Surrounding states and South will see a even bigger uptick in transplants. That’s how destroyed some areas are

I honestly I think most people moving to the south suburbs and NWI

 

[Brozay]

dont check in here often, usually stay in the coliseum, but I hope the chicago coli family has been safe this past week

 

[Tenchi Ryu]

63rd is tore up but the effort to clean it up is real. You can tell this phase 3 opening too important for folks to let this push them back another month

 

[Wildhundreds]

I foresee a surge in supermacados opening in the west englewood area.. Petes produce as well..

Mexicans were already moving over there in a rapid pace.. So the implementing of their culture in that area is coming..
