HeyJackass! brings us the news of a Mostly Peaceful Weekend
Years ago we would joke that Rahm was desperately trying to obtain a Super Villain Weather Control Machine since weather was the only thing guaranteed to result in “crime is down”. Apparently Brandon found it in the basement of City Hall and spun up a dust storm (didn’t work) followed by a cold front (worked!).
Family members told me that the dust storm was strange. Not something I ever remember experiencing in Illinois.
The final tally was 2 killed, with another 22 shot and wounded. That is actually pretty peaceful by Chicago standards for this time of the year.
So is the decrease a win, or the fact that it is a "decrease" make it a travesty?
Click thru for the details, and links to a couple of stories, one from the River North entertainment district, where a lot of clubs, bars, and restaurants were, back in the day. Not sure I would be frequenting that area today, even if I was back in my 20s.
