Cubs Fan must be a Windy City resident. Chicago ghetto culture has not changed one iota from the 1960s. I was there. I took the el from Oak Park down to Washington & Dearborn, transferred to the State St subway north to Chicago Ave and then walked to Quigley North at Pearson & Rush, in 1965/66. Then I switched to St Ignatius for sophomore year, at Racine and Roosevelt, and had to walk past the housing on Racine to get to school. My dad’s building was at Madison & Kilbourn in 1968 and much of that block burned down after MLK was shot. The inner city ghetto has not changed at all in these intervening 50+ years, and the reasons for this massive dysfunction remain the same: the nuclear family is non-existant.
