发帖数: 29846 | 1 If Chicagoans Would Vote for Commie Karen Lewis, They Shouldn’t Be Allowed
to Vote at All
July 15, 2014
A new poll of likely Chicago voters seems to find that Mayor Rahm Emanuel is
in bad shape for his re-election coming up next year. The poll shows that
two other candidates are far and away more popular than the incumbent mayor.
One of those two is Chicago Teachers Union President Karen Lewis, a woman
who is nearly an out and proud communist. But, if Chicagoans would vote for
Lewis, they don’t... 阅读全帖 |

Recently NPR’s Morning Edition aired a segment on Chicago’s “gun violence
” featuring taped comments from local Catholic Priest Father Michael
Pfleger. Unfortunately the taxpayer-funded radio show presented Pflager as a
benign “social activist” and never informed listeners of just how radical
this man is.
The segment focused on President Obama’s Friday, February 15, visit to
Chicago that was meant to highlight his anti-gun policies. Without fully

Beneath the skyscrapers of Chicago there is an unseen world that many
Chicagoans are unaware of. Hidden deep below the skyscrapers of Chicago’s
Loop are underground freight tunnels. I have personally heard stories that
these tunnels exist, but I always assumed them to be a myth. I certainly did
not know about their importance to the history of the city of Chicago.

These tunnels are over forty feet below the surface of city stre... 阅读全帖 |

发帖数: 9764 | 6 So you’re likely wondering, where are these tunnels now? Well most of them
are still there. The tunnels were used until 1959 when they were vacated as
a mode of delivery. Today, some sections of the tunnels are used for utility
and communication lines, and other parts have been transformed into the
tunnels for the red and blue lines. None of the tunnels have been used for
the Pedway system, which does not go as far below ground level. Since they
are so securely sealed up, it is unlikely that any... 阅读全帖 |

Dear Parking Ticket Geek,
I received a ticket in a spot in Lincoln Park that I have parked in at least
30 times with no problem. It is on the end of a block, near a crosswalk,
without a sign restricting parking.
But the ticket says it’s for "Parking within 20 feet of a crosswalk."
If this is really true, it would eliminate thousands of spots that
Chicagoans use every day. Think I can beat it?
