Understood. South Sider from Chicago.
Until I was old enough to drive away.

Moved here when I should have known better....north sider, lake, beach and bike trail out the back door...not all terrible, that's for sure, but unfortunately the 'joke' is not far from the truth in a few areas.

We escaped from Detroit when I was four years old, thanks to my Dad's hard work. Glad he got us out of there, it is no longer fit for human habitation.

200 round magazine, huh? That'd be one heavy mo-fo. Being that he'd have to prop it on the door to use it, and the magazine would be so big that he couldn't aim it (even the round Thompson drums/clips only held 100), he'd be confined to hitting only those that walked directly past his sights. So iow, he'd be only marginally more accurate than the gangsters there are now.

And while the Thompson was unusual in that it used drums/clips, others use magazines.

Still living in the Chicagoland area. I have to say that it's getting pretty darn scary. We live on the far south burbs. I don't see myself living here the rest of my life though. My dream would be Seattle, or somewhere out west around mountains. Also I was living directly in the city for a bit, and you had to watch your property (junkers would patrol the alleys and take anything that was made of metal) for scrap, even if it was not being thrown out. Also imho the police ranks area bit thin to respond to everything (in the city).

Dunno, it is getting scary though. Dont even get me started on the "leadership" of the city...The former mayor sold the parking rights to a foreign company for 75 years for around 1.5 billion...Now the new mayor has to deal with spiking parking prices. Oh well....

They won't even respond to many calls. Pretty much has to be someone in your house with a weapon to ensure they'll respond, and last I heard, average response time was 23 minutes. Average, meaning it could easily be more. That's a long time when a rapist is in your home.

The new mayor shouldn't even be the mayor. The Demon-crats judge shopped until they found one who would rule that Emanuel was a resident. Legally, he wasn't.

As for metered parking, what cost .25/hr five years ago now costs $13/hr., and they just extended by 2 the hours per day the meters are in operation.
