Chicago could become the next Detroit - it will just take longer to turn into a giany ghetto because of its size.
I was last in Chicago in 2000 and the downtown and museums/art museums were wonderful. It was fun. However there were no go areas then and much of the city had its dangers.
The South and West sides of Chicago are already mostly bombed out ghetto's. I live streamed my commute into Chicago one day on FR's Facebook Page so people could see how bad the south side of Chicago truly is with burned out buildings everywhere.
The video and comments are gone - they were however quite priceless. And yes, it's been a Democrat run city for DECADES, currently being run by Clintonista Rahm Emmanuel.
