Whoa! Those strict gun control laws make Chicago's streets the
safest in the natiion,
no? Oh, here you go, the police have it figured out...no problem:
"Police say the
victim is a documented gang member."

I doubt you'd last a "New York Minute" in Chicago. I love taking
business/pleasure trips to that city...great hotels, shopping,
museums, restaurants, easy ride in from the airport, great meeting
facilities.



The ride from the airport to the city is one on the worst in any of the
big cities I've visited. Midway is better to the south side or
McCormick Place, but not by much. This is real experience on real
business trips.


Amen to that. Got the t-shirt. The suburbs aren't bad for a big city, but going downtown requires sticking to the well-known areas or having a local along with you. And O'Hare sux!
