Why the hate?

My son goes to Moody Bible Institute in downtown Chicago. We love to go visit him. It seems to be a safe clean city as long as you stay where you belong.

If I got decent tickets and could crash in his dorm I’d go. He’s a slow learner so he just might still be there in 7 years.

It isn't hate--it is the fact of the crime rate and sleazy corruption in Chicago. I was there about 20 years ago in a 5 star hotel on Michigan Ave. and my husband and I got scared to death within a block of our hotel by a black guy evidently high on something, who came toward us saying scary things about whitey and what he intended to do. We crossed the street and did not look at him or acknowledge him. Also, the govt. housing was horrible and the el trains, too.

No thanks!

Yes, Chicago is interesting and parts are beautiful, but is run by those on the dark side. If they get the games, I think the tickets should read--"Come here at your own risk."

Moody Bible and Chicagolady are about the only good things in Chicago other than the Bears, Sox, and Bulls. I have made it a point not to ever give Chicago any more of my money and even though I went there a lot in the 80’s and 90’s I have avoided the city since 2000 and I live in Illinois.

Chicago Sucks and so do most of the people who elect the bums that have destroyed the state of Illinois. I hope Rio gets the Olympics but we all know Obama is going to Copenhagen to pick up his gift.

If you have to use the phrase, “as long as you stay where you belong”, it's not a safe city. It's a sign of the Apocalypse.
