Why is a Judge living on Roseland? That area is what we call the 'Wild 100S'. Yes, Englewood and the West Side is bad. But when you get to the 7500 and especially the 100000 blocks. That is the most dangerous area of Chicago
It appears that the judge was sitting by judicial appointment and had not yet stood for election. If he was from a judicial subcircuit district (a mechanism created by the legislature to promote election of minorities to the judiciary), he may have been abiding by the rules requiring him to reside in the area where he would be elected from.
“Why is a Judge living on Roseland?”
I had, many many moons ago, a least a dozen Dutch cousins living there. I used to take a bus from Blue Island to go to theaters there...Paid 35 cents for a ham sandwich and cream soda at the drugstore next to the show for a lunch.
Took the ‘l’ down to 55th to go to the museums on weekends..
Coudn’t do any that now....
Roseland has its problems, but it has nowhere near the numbers of North Lawndale & Austin, on the Westside, and Englewood on the Southside.
