Most five letter words follow one of two consonant/vowel patterns. c v c v c (polar) Or cc vv c (dream) The curse of being an English teacher. Both my boys and girls varsity won today. Fun day.

greg775 1,730 Posted January 20 What the heck is going on folks? People are allowing their neighborhoods in a once great city to be terrorized? https://patch.com/illinois/beverly-mtgreenwood/3-vehicles-carjacked-midpointe-apartments-cops?utm_term=article-slot-1&utm_source=newsletter-daily&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=newsletter To my fellow Chicagoans who love our city ... I was planning on coming back to the south side for a Sox series this summer and or some time in my old neighborhood, Mt. Greenwood, south of Midway. Shoot me straight please. Is there a good chance my car will be jacked if I return? Is there any reason at all to stay at the Hilton on 95th Street? Are we to the point it's too dangerous to visit my city? How are people standing for this b.s. I read the Patch and car jackings in Beverly and Greenwood areas appear COMMON! It's outrageous. Please let me know if this is a problem or not for vacationers.
