Attack of the Spelling Police:
You misspelled “Chicago”. The real spelling is “Shitcago.”
BTW I was born there, but now, by the grace of God, live in the Knoxville, TN area.
“BTW I was born there”
Me too, and I spent a lot of my youth walking the streets and alleys that I can’t anymore unless willing to be shot. I’ve had friends shot while I lived there, and remember sitting in my bedroom as a young kid, listening to gunfire down the street. It wasn’t usual then, and certainly wasn’t like it is now, but it was the beginning of a trend that has destroyed the quality of life in large areas of Chicago. I don’t know what the answers are, but I do know that little children shouldn’t have to grow up in gang-infested neighborhoods in which they can’t play outside in safety.
