DeleteHi, I have a condo for sale in a very "diverse" neighborhood. It's a very convenient location next door to a 24/7 bath house that always seems quiet but for whatever reason there always seems to be a ruckus in all other directions. Well, ya know, this is a "big city" and "things just happen". Also, there are 5am bars in case you need a "shot" of energy on your way to work or the gym. VERY convenient! We have granite counter tops and stainless steel appliances so don't fret about that!
ReplyDeleteSo, anyway, I just found out that since about 1980, we can live anywhere we want and can always visit Chicago's version of gay on the weekends. What a relief!
Boys Town went from creepy to CREEPIFIED!
ReplyDeleteChicago could really benefit from a revived Ku Klux Klan!
ReplyDeleteThey would get chased out with their tails between their legs.
DeleteI stayed in a rented condo on Sheffield by belmont in early 2008 and I can tell you nothing like this on this scale was happening, it was mostly Diplomat and Abbott scumbags, it took until about December 2008 for most of the thugs to discover Lakeview via the Center on Halsted.
ReplyDeleteHe's not a bottom Ms. insatiable 50 y.o. Chicago "versatile" still looking for something to fill that gaping hole on Halsted St. for the past 30 years. Try a traffic cone. There's alot of construction out there. Take your prescribed drug "cocktail" and call it a day".
