There’s no casino or there’s no other magic source, no capital asses that we could sell that’s going to replace the loss of our property tax base, and that’s how a city begins to hollow out at its core.

According to the 2010 census the city of Jackson Michigan is 73.9% White.

One funny thing about my hometown, *everyone* is in politics. Aldermen, Ward Heelers, somehow, all of the adults are involved.

I haven’t been to Chi-Town in decades, but, I still love her. Such an amazing place to grow up.

This breaks my heart.

It was already dying, and has been since the 1960s flight to the burbs. Antifa managed to finish it off in a few short weeks.

It seems to me that Chicago will go the way of NYC, which could actually be permanently gone. I can’t believe I’m saying such a thing.

People are fleeing NYC at the rate of 3000 per day. Cuomo has actually written a book about the bang up job he did on CV management.

Well done, Andy and Warren Wilhelm Jr.

The wealth will soon be gone. Then what? The same is happening in the Second City.

Terrorists could not bring NYC down. You need democrats for that.

The left didn’t mind when the “information superhighway” gutted America’s white-collar workforce (sending jobs overseas); now listen to them howl as it guts the cities (sending jobs to the ‘burbs).

Thank you. The very nice lady who returned my call was in California. That meant she responded by 0615 her time. She was NOT happy.

I think the point is that a polite phone call expressing displeasure at this crap can work, at least sometimes.

There was a lot of crime taking place on the Mag Mile, going back to the late Daley years, that the regular media refused to cover and the politicians refused to address. Second City Cop was about the only source covering the street crimes and organized shoplifting taking place.

I remember remarking—maybe here—that West Madison Street’s decline (before it was incinerated in 1968) began in much the same fashion.

Should have done something about the rioting & looting when you had the chance. Maybe you’ll get a second chance if some of it is rebuilt & the rioters/looters/BLM/Antifa/whatever come back for more.
