I am SO Chicago that I remember a time I could walk to the store by myself and home without ever worrying if Id be kidnapped. I would be able to walk to school without drug dealers on the corner looking to push up on me. I could play in the park and not be exposed to syringes, weed bags, and beer bottles. Our Public Schools didnt have metal detectors. The CPD actually protected and served. The east side (South Shore) was home to celebrities and the one of the best places in Chicago to live. Gangs didnt target children and pop off loosely. Lastly ... I am so Chicago that I remember when Mayor Harold Washington was going to turn things around with such great promise for one of the greatest cities in the world until he was killed ... oops, I am sorry. Until he died. #Chicago
