Thats a very busy corner on 47th street.. For this to happen during rush hour is a testimony to how brazen these nikkas have gotten.

THESE THIEVES ARE TOO BOLD!
Someone stole a backhoe from a construction site near 90th and Constance.
They had the nerve to start it up like it was there's and drive it 20 miles to this Chase Bank ATM in the 1400 block of West Morse.
The backhoe's owner was able to verify a timeline of the crime using a GPS system.
The thieves got the ATM open and some cash.
They have not been caught.
Chicago Police are investigating.

Jesse White endorses Anna Valencia in heated Democratic primary for Illinois secretary of state
The primary race has forced Illinois’ top Democrats to pick sides, but no other endorsement carries more weight than White’s, thanks to his sheer vote-getting prowess.

Retiring Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White on Thursday announced his support for City Clerk Anna Valencia in the Democratic primary battle to replace him, giving her the most coveted endorsement in a heated race against former state Treasurer Alexi Giannoulias and Chicago Ald. David Moore (17th).



Look at this c00n.. :scust:

Over looked David Moore to endorse a latina.. And in her statement she said she's working to make sure government is more accessible.. Which is code word for latinos about to get more business licenses and other perks to further cement them as upward mobile people in Chicago..

Im not hating on the Latinos, but black Chicago going out sad as fck.. And black democrats are handing the city over to them.. Truly pathetic.

new co-op grocery store coming to englewood:

Englewood is getting a new community-run grocery store on 63rd Street

The final touches are coming together for a new community-operated grocery store that will open in Englewood on March 8.

The Go Green Community Fresh Market is a cooperative-inspired corner grocery store. It is a community-led effort organized by the Inner-City Muslim Action Network (IMAN) and other local community organizations to improve access to nutritious food options for residents of Englewood.

“The issues that surround corner stores in low-income communities, particularly low-income Black communities on the South and West sides of Chicago, have always been a part of the intense organizing work that IMAN has done for the last 25 years,” Alia Bilal, IMAN’s deputy executive director told The TRiiBE on Feb. 15.

The issues that Bilal referred to include access to healthy nutritious foods, affordable food and education around health and wellness.

The South Side neighborhood has been categorized as a food desert, meaning that the neighborhood has limited access to fresh produce and other nutritious food options.

But long-time Englewood resident Asiaha Butler doesn’t view the neighborhood as a food desert. She’s the founder and CEO of Residents Association of Greater Englewood (R.A.G.E).

“I just feel like a desert is something that’s in its natural state, and it’s starved of certain things. That’s not what’s happening here in Englewood,” Butler explained. “This is like intentional systemic things that have made it impossible for us to have access sometimes to fresh and healthy food. It’s food all over this community, it’s just not the best for you.”

Instead, Butler refers to what’s happening in Englewood as food apartheid because the choices and systems in place dictate what people can access.

“I can walk down 63rd, and I could grab five or six different greasy sandwiches, but I can’t get a smoothie. So, I wouldn’t say that that’s a desert,” she said. “I would say it’s apartheid because apartheid is when it’s actually systems that affect a situation that controls their natural state, and that’s not our natural state.”

The Go Green Community Fresh Market will be located at 1207 W. 63rd Street, just steps away from 63rd Street and Racine Avenue. The new market joins the Whole Foods on 820 W. 63rd Street, which came to the Englewood community back in 2016.

There’s still an Aldi in the neighborhood, located at 620 W. 63rd Street, that has been there since 1991. In 2017, Aldi announced plans to spend $1.6 billion to remodel and expand Aldi grocery stores. The upgraded W. 63rd Street market reopened in October 2021.

The Go Green Community Fresh Market will offer fresh produce sourced from local vendors, along with hot pre-packaged meals from local restaurants such as Majani, a vegan soul food restaurant in South Shore. The market will accept cash, all major credit and debit cards, Apple and Samsung pay and EBT Link cards.

Construction on the 7,000-square-foot building cost around $5 million and it took about two years to build. The second floor of the building will house store operations and an open meeting space for community organizations and residents. Many of the positions at the store have been filled by Englewood residents, Bilal said.

The Go Green Community Fresh Market was an idea birthed by IMAN decades ago, Bilal said. IMAN is a community organization that fosters health, wellness and healing in inner-city communities by organizing for social change, cultivating the arts operating a holistic health center.

Bridgeport is trying to transform that strip of Morgan into sort of a cool hipster street with art galleries, cafes, retail spots. It’s where Maria’s Dry Goods, Bridgeport Coffee House, and Antique Taco are located. It’s some other cool stuff over there and that strip will be pretty lit once they fully develop it. Residents were probably mad that a black salon popped up there like she couldn’t have put that on Halsted. shyts fukked up but I kinda understand.

If I had the money to transform 35th street or 51st street, I would severely limit the number of salons or barber shops. They’re a dime a dozen and they are already everywhere. Now y’all want to take up more critical space in an area that we’re trying to transform with a diverse set of cool and funky businesses? That’s just greedy to me.

That shyt annoys me to be honest. Like out of all the type of businesses you could bring in, you want to bring in another goddamn salon?
