Harvey is a real bad place.
It’s where that mall was that was featured in The Blues Brothers. It sat rotting away for over 30 yrs. before being torn down a few years ago. It had become the World’s Biggest Crack House.

Guilty plea in slaying of Metra cop
Gary man admits to being lookout in 2006 shooting

Pamela Cook caressed the diamond pendant around her neck as she stood outside the Markham courthouse moments after a Gary man pleaded guilty on Friday to the murder of her husband, Metra police Officer Thomas Cook.
“I got it after he was killed,” Cook said of the pendant as she squinted in the low afternoon sun. “I kind of put the journey (necklace) on today because this is the journey, you know, that you go through to make sure that this is all done.”
Jeremy Lloyd, 22, pleaded guilty to murder for acting as a lookout in Cook’s slaying in September 2006. He also pleaded guilty to attempted murder for his involvement in a shootout with a Harvey cop earlier that same day.
Cook was sitting in his squad car outside the 147th Street Metra station in Harvey late at night when he was shot in the back of the head at point-blank range. He was killed instantly, and his .357-caliber service weapon was stolen.
The assailants were after Cook’s gun — they needed a replacement for two weapons lost in a shootout with Harvey police Officer Alex Gbur that morning, Assistant State’s Attorney Joe Kosman said at Friday’s hearing.
Gbur had responded to a volley of gunfire in the 15200 block of South Loomis Avenue in Harvey when he was flagged down by group who said two men had driven past them and opened fire. The officer pursued the car with the gunmen in it. Lloyd and another man opened fire on Gbur and then fled, eventually ditching both their car and guns.
That night, Lloyd and his accomplice got a gun from another man, then went to rob a Metra police officer to get his gun, leading to Cook’s murder, Kosman said.
