Chicago

     Chicago is a great city with a rick history.  The city has many Nicknames including; The Windy City, The City That Works, The Heart of America, The City of Big Shoulders, and My Kind of Town.  Chicago is a transportation hub for the farm belt of the country.  

        In 1967-1968 I lived in a north shore Chicago suburb and worked in a western suburb close to O’Hare airport.  The Chicago area was fun at the time.  We went down to State Street, Rush Street, and Piper’s Ally in the city often.  One time my future wife and another couple slept on the beach close to the Planetarium.  The police ran us off about 4:00 AM, and we moved to Navy Pier for the rest of the night.

        The company I worked for had a manufacturing plant on Homan Avenue on the south-side of Chicago.  I had to go to that plant on occasion.  At the time I was driving a 1967 GTO convertible.  It was blue metallic with white top, white interior, Rally 1 wheels, and an 8 track tape player.  When I drove to the plant on the south-side I would leave the GTO on the street with the top down.  Nobody ever touched it.  Maybe they thought it was a police plant or owned by the mob. 

        I lived in the western suburbs of Chicago from 1986 to 1995.  I traveled all over the Chicago metro area.  It was still nice except for the traffic.  I had some great times with my sons in Chicago.  We made visits to Six Flags Great America, the Field Museum, Adler Planetarium, Shedd Aquarium, the Museum of Science and History, Brookfield Zoo, and Lincoln Park Zoo.  We saw some pro soccer and the Cubs.

        What has happened to Chicago?  Chicago has had over 2,000 shooting victims and over 400 homicides already this year with as many as 18 fatalities in a single day.  Some of these were children who were shot in broad daylight in their strollers or in their beds at night.  What happened to all the people who claimed to be concerned about protecting children and blacks?  They seem to have better things to do like condoning burning, looting, and violence in an attempt to divide and destroy our country.

        Here are some facts.  Chicago has been controlled by liberal Democrats for over eighty years.  The corruption has run wild.  Chicago has the strictest gun control laws in the country.  Chicago is a sanctuary city.  How is all that working out? 

        Mayor Lori Lightfoot is a joke.  An innocent citizen on the south or west side of Chicago was safer when Al Capone ran the city.  Chicago needs to make some changes that put the needs of ALL Americans first without trying to divide the country for political power.

God bless President Trump and guide him to make America great again.

Trump did not bring division.  Division brought Trump. 

If you don’t see that, then you’re part of the problem.
