How about Mr. SOS that just got out of prison in your town. Staying at "progress house".
Hey, lets not forget Michigan, i.e. Detroit!!!!!
Read it earlier but didn't have anything useful to add. To which Mr. SOS do you refer?
What they always say - it's Bush's fault!
Well, while my grandmother was not a ganster moll, she did enjoy going to the honky tonks on the Meramec River in Valley Park during Prohibition!
Jesse Jackson Jr. is setting up a run for mayor of Chicago and is building his campaign based on repeated news conferences with accusations against the current mayor being involved in political scandals.
No one doubts that Chicago/Illinois Democrat politics are as corrupt as they come. What I think is happening, however, is that Jesse and company are using their obvious insider knowledge to set up a palace coup within the corrupt Democrat mafia, not to depose that mafia.
It reminds me a bit of the internal power plays in the Roman court surrounding Tiberius and Caligula. Tiberius was undoubtedly a murderous child molesting evil pig, but he was deposed in favor of Caligula. Not exactly a step up.
We can always hope that there is a Claudius lurking in the wings, shuffling and stuttering his way safely through Chicago wards, writing his histories.
I can't remember his full name right now. nickname is timoteo and he's 6'4", 240lbs, "sleepy" tattooed on the left side of his neck, runs with a white chick, tear drop tattoo under his left eye. Some kind of make believe brother to a guy who was shot and killed after a car chase a few years ago.
The family was seen on the local news saying things like "street justice..." and someone anonymously called one of the TPD precincts and threatened a bunch of officers by name a while back.
I remember all that from the bulletin but can't remember his real name. LOL
East St. Louis is totally crazy- It is quite scary to drive through there at night- in a city 60,ooo plus there are only a handful of gas stations, restaurants, bars and retail stores/pawn shops- oh and also a casino-
I generally sometimes like to go hang out at the "Louzz" (Club Illusion) when I get back - but man you have to 30 to get in- Some nights its all older croud man- they might as well make the age 40-

East St. Louis is in IL. You are thinking about St Louis.
HHHHmmmmmm First they clean up East Chicago (Lake County Indiana---last summer), now they make arrest in East St Louis (Illinois)....I'd say somebody should be feeling a little nervous.
Surprisingly, the city of Chicago is a great place to visit and quite safe. It's beautiful, interesting, friendly, cultural and has great food and entertainment. Nothing beats the sight of the Greco-style museums and the marinas along the lake front on a bright sunny summer day.
Chicago is a fantastic vacation center.....and the city thrives despite the Daley machine lineage. Guess it's midwestern hard work and the bracing (ouch) winters, LOL.

Chicago is one of my favorite cities to visit....We love the Museums and the shopping in Old Town.....Also the view fromthe top of Sear's tower.....It is a beautiful city. ANd yes I feel perfectly safe....We can take the train up and not even worry about driving.
Force of habit. It's SOP.
I understand this, but Obama won 70% of the vote, and Kerry won over 55%. There is no way they actually needed any of those votes. It's just not possible.
I guess that would make some sense.
You forgot to mention that Chicago once had a professional football team.
EAST ST. LOUIS is not in Missouri. It's in Illinois.
PS: FYI - East St. Louis - home of Jackie Joyner-Kersee
