What about the shooting on Howard @ 4:30 in the afternoon?
ReplyDeleteI wasn't aware of that incident, but a little birdie told me that someone was allegedly shot at Howard and Marshfield at 4:38 p.m.
ReplyDeleteThe alleged shooters are two male blacks. They reportedly fled the scene in a car.
Oh when I first moved to Chicago (not long ago) everyone was hyping Rogers Park as "the most diverse place in the entire country". I just had to check it out for myself. Uh, no thanks. I really think there needs to be a new word entered in the dictionaries and that is "chicagodiversity" because it has it's own meaning. I could write the definition.
