Another would-be terrorist caught in the nick of time. We need to do more profiling to stay on top of this threat.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jan 28, 2011 -> 12:24 PM) What are you disagreeing with here? Have you seen pictures/video of Lincoln Park/Wrigleyville from about 1980 to 2000 compared to what it is now? He's absolutely right. I'm disagreeing that 3 or 4 neighborhoods are more important than the city as a whole.

I thought they were referring to cloud storage.

You should be nicknamed Captain Obvious.

Wonder why?

Those are two very impressive teams: East Guard Dwyane Wade - Heat Guard Derrick Rose - Bulls Forward LeBron James - Heat Forward Amare Stoudemire - Knicks Center Dwight Howard - Magic West Guard Kobe Bryant - Lakers Guard Chris Paul - Hornets Forward Carmelo Anthony - Nuggets Forward Kevin Durant - Thunder Center Yao Ming - Rockets

QUOTE (bmags @ Jan 28, 2011 -> 10:18 AM) Which is ridiculous, especially with the proximity to the blue line stops and wealth going toward the area. It finally picks up around Logan Square. I do like how they have turned the empty storefronts into art displays on milwaukee, but there is so much that area could be for storefronts. Toward north/damen/milwaukee there are a lot of stores that could spill so much further. You're reading my mind. We chose the condo we're in right now because it's 2 blocks from the California Blue Line and 4 years ago when we bought it we figured we'd see the neighborhood change before our eyes. It has, but at an alarmingly slow rate. I'm pretty sure the number of closed businesses outweigh the number of new ones (i.e., Revolution Brewery, The Boiler Room). There was even a huge project (large pdf link) in place to transform that stretch of Milwaukee with lots of time and money put into it. Unfortunately nothing whatsoever became of it.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jan 28, 2011 -> 10:11 AM) BTW this reminded me a lot of Milwaukee Ave. and other areas. Way too many vacant storefronts in places that are blowing up. http://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/blogs/h...ck-its-present/ Indeed. The stretch of Milwaukee that we're on (California to Western) is almost entirely made up of empty store fronts and it's been like this for 3 years.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Jan 28, 2011 -> 10:05 AM) Probably but I think the status quo is fine which he should be able to hold and hopefully in time he figures out how to improve things. You need to remember that Lincoln Park and the north side of the city have improved greatly over time because of the world class downtown and its sprawl into the north and more recently the south. The downtown is slowly moving south and west and hopefully Rahm can keep this going. The other candidates could have caused the city to regress. Rahm knows how Washington works and he knows how the folks that back Obama work and that is very important. That is Daley's biggest strength. It is not ideal politics but it is best for the city in my mind. I'll have to completely disagree.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Jan 28, 2011 -> 09:50 AM) The ruling is actually good for Chicago. While I am not a Rahnm backer I think he is the best current candidate. For the love of god if Carol had somehow squeaked in. Huberman is the current version of Chico, takes a lot of jobs within the city and does nothing with them and moves before anyone can figure out what he is doing. Rahm has worked with Clinton and Bush so he will nto be overwhelmed by the job. I can not say that much for the others. I just can't help but think that Rahm will be an extension of Daley's policies. We'll have our world class downtown area and most other neighborhoods will be ignored.

Uncharacteristically quiet in here the last couple of days.
