What Chicago is talking about this week:
So a drunken sailor and a homeless man walk into a McDonald's ...
Sadly, that's not the beginning of some new kick-ass joke, but an incident of violence that happened at the local MickeyDs last night. Coming shortly after the Taco Bell shooting and the man found dead in his Addison and Halsted apartment, that's all hitting a little too close to home for my taste. Of course, all the incidents are related to late night and alcohol (and I haven't been out stumbling around drunk on a bar crawl for about six weeks), so I may be mostly safe from harm. And the news story juxtaposed around all of these (the fourth link below) -- the brand new police station opened in the 'hood within two blocks of all of these occurrences.
Look, I pay a premium to be in this neighborhood. And that means I live paycheck to paycheck. But I'd like to keep the focus on the fifth word of that last sentence, so let's keep it together, people!
