I can't sell it. When I bought it and moved in only a few years ago, I couldn't get over how beautiful and safe the area was. I don't know what will happen now, but I hope I can sell it in a couple of years and I don't want to ever go there again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3758330678390419129.post-74932764375682916392012-07-08T20:19:37.252-04:002012-07-08T20:19:37.252-04:00I support gun ban but I also think liberals are to...I support gun ban but I also think liberals are too soft on the criminals. I believe all gang members deserve execution. Criminals don't deserve rights and dignity. They did it to themselves. I firmly believe mercy to the criminals is cruelty to the victims and other law abiding citizens. Those who treat the good people cruelly deserve cruelty.

My family had been there since the 1870s and we have all left, never to return. When we were kids we used to use the El to get to the Museum of Science and Industry and home again near Fullerton and California. <br /><br />Who instigated these flash mobs?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3758330678390419129.post-30816594110179922902011-08-09T16:21:52.196-04:002011-08-09T16:21:52.196-04:00"Seems clear enough that no one posting above..."Seems clear enough that no one posting above me actually lives in Chicago.
