Re: These are the 5 men who have accused Seattle Mayor Ed Murray of child sexual abus
I've never seen Chicago looking better as a whole. The hardcore slums are still slums, and God only knows what the solution is there. But the rest of the city is amazingly vibrant, with many economically stifled areas having gentrified. Cook County is one of the top 20 job growth counties in the country. It really has been a remarkable rebirth coming out of the manufacturing economy, and especially in coming out of the Bush recession.
What started in Wicker Park and Logan Square decades ago, has continued to Humboldt Park, much of the Westside, Pilson, Bronzeville, Kenwood, SouthShore, you name it!
Despite the crap going down in some of the hardcore areas of the Southside and a pocket or two on the Westside, don't listen to the B.S. coming from Trump, the GOP, and Fox!
Sorry to open up a second thread with you Hawkeye, but have you spent any time in Chicago recently? Especially the past several years?I told one of my kids two weeks ago as I was walking with her in Capital Hill "This smells and looks like Chicago Circa 1974". My Microsoft daughter spends $3K a month for an almost new very nice loft apartment in a very top section of CH, she does not feel safe at night alone two blocks off.
