Back then spent many a morning sitting at the grade crossing at 130th and Torrence (or occasionally at that bridge over the Calumet River a few blocks north of the Ford plant). And my college summer job was Republic Steel - with a bit of overtime, I could pay for my full college tuition with three months in the mill. Try doing that today!

That’s a great description of the place. I lived there for twelve years and liked it. The main reason we moved is because CPS had no good options when our son was ready for high school. Crime was rare and random. I used to go to community meetings with the police, and people seemed pretty determined not to allow Hegewisch be another neighborhood that went down the drain.

We can always see their age but never what they look like. Very strange.

Oak Hill that’s the name, thanks. I know exactly where it is. Grandparents and Great Grandparents (Serbs) all buried there.

I am half the other half Polish. That it a beautiful old cemetery. My Great Grandparents have a very big headstone with their pictures on it. Very near the road on the south end.

We paid for the breeding of this feral teen.

Sterilization should be a prerequisite for welfare.

It is. A few years back it was not being maintained very well, but they got their act together and do a good job now: not just cutting the grass, but picking up fallen limbs and clearing out brush that was growing through the fence on Hohman Avenue. It was pretty wild-looking in that old section on the east end. They have an active volunteer group that does a lot of work too. They sometimes offer tours of historic graves.

“Ruzich was parked outside of work at Baltimore Food, Deli, and Liquor in the 13300 block of South Baltimore Avenue around 4:30 a.m. on Aug. 16, talking to one of her sons through the windows of their cars, when another vehicle pulled up, two people got out, and almost immediately started shooting at Ruzich.

Her son was able to drive off. Ruzich accelerated down the street, but crashed, and a witness said the men came back and shot her again. Ruzich died at a local hospital.

Police later released surveillance video and images of the gunmen.

Friday afternoon, Chicago Police Chief of Detectives Brendan Deenihan said investigators determined the shooters’ vehicle had been stolen in an earlier carjacking.

Detectives were able to tie the same group to several other carjackings, and witnesses who knew the shooters helped identify them to police, according to Deenihan.

“Right now, we are having a carjacking crisis, and to the people out there, I would say just do your best to be aware of your surroundings, the normal things we talk about. And obviously they were in this case, and this still happened, so I think the offenders have to take responsibility for those actions because the victims didn’t do anything wrong here,” he added. “Unfortunately, we have some extremely violent people who are doing this. So we just caution the community to please do your best to be safe and be aware of your surroundings and react accordingly.”

There have been more than 1,000 carjackings citywide this year to date, according to police. And Chicago’s carjacking crisis is showing no sign of slowing down

Brings me to hate crimes. Hate crimes shouldn’t be but were put into place so the federal govt can come into states and prosecute whites. All hate crimes should be done away with. The govt is gone and has been for a long time. The sooner we mostly eliminate the Fed govt, by cutting off funding. The better off we ‘ll be.

Can’t see what anyone looks like anymore due to these lovely mask mandates. Masks used to be a give away that someone’s up to no good, were even banned in many places, good luck with identifying criminals anymore.
