Just so you know Canadian... I see what you did there with the title and all... I smiled. Very clever. 😉

Since I live here in Chicago and see this stuff (bad and good), it kind of irritates me when someone points jabs at my town, especially if the individual doesn't have a point of reference and won't answer as to whether he lives here or has even been here.

Let's talk hockey instead! 😛

Chicago is an awesome city with so much to offer. Besides the hockey which of course would be enough for me anyway. Hell I love just flying into the city. It always feels like the plane is going to land into the water.

Same with going into NY. I love flying over The Statue of Liberty.

Next time you are coming to Chicago let me know. Black Hawk tix are a toughie since they got good but I can get freebies to both baseball teams. Smile

I will you up on that offer, Lee. Different job now so travel far less but Chicago is definitely on my list. My wife's Aunt lives there so a visit is in order. Plus she gets me cool jackets/sweaters from Rush University and I need a new one. Everyone always thinks it is the band even the guys in Rush wondered. Alex told me a few years ago that he would be getting some on their next stop in Chicago. Not sure if he did.

My buddy also a Hawks fan was there for his Bday in October. His wife got him primo tickets for the Hawks and White Sox games. Plus she surprised him with the announcement on the big screens wishing him a Happy Birthday. The Hawks email you a picture of your birthday wishes on the screen. Simple thing but still cool and he has it on the wall now. You would be amazed at this guy's house as it is like a Blackhawks museum. Every room covered with Hawks stuff.

I need one of those pictures of my name on the board just to get even with him.

Sorry for the hijack. Everyone return to hating each other. 😛

Hey I have had plenty of problems with him. Like how long we should celebrate Stanley Cup Victories. Not to mention his love of rap. He won't let me by his hype man which pisses me off as I say "What" as good as any hyper in rap. Throw in my boxers up to my underarms and my pants around my knees, how can I not get the job?

I don't really have a love of rap, I just don't hate it as much as you do. Grin

Speaking of Stanley Cups, my wife and daughter want to get another dog, I said only if we name him Stanley and he wears a Hawks collar. Cool

I've always enjoyed my visits to Chicago as well. Never got mugged.

I was a big Hawks fan when Stan Mikita and Bobby Hull played on the team. Wow that was a long time ago!

If your lucky, there will be 550 or so more murders in the next 13 days to get to the 1,000 you claimed (that's assuming that they are all black).

When my son was two, my brother gave him a Hawk jersey with his name on the back. It was huge on him so it fit him for years. We got a big pup (Crash) a bit over a year ago and during the playoffs I couldn't resist. Sure enough it fit Crash perfectly and he walked around proudly.

I told everyone that is the only "dressing up" that Crash gets. Have to protect my dog from the ladies. When Chicago scored and we erupted, Crash would join in howling away.

Speaking of Bobby Hull, in October my wife gave me this awesome Chicago sweater/hoodie. #9 Bobby Hull. It is freaking awesome. She is real good for surprises like that. Wife and kids shake their heads as people stop and talk Hawks with me all the time. In any city that we go to.

A few years ago, my Dad gave my brothers and I Hawks Leather Jackets. Real nice ones. I was in shock. He busted our balls growing up and was pretty tough but he has his moments. That was definitely one of them. 😛

When I hear the name Stanley I think of Mr. Roper on 3's Company. Norman Fell.

Speaking of 3, there are almost 3 million of us that live here and woke up this morning.

Again, ever been here?

i have.
One of the most notable was when we had one of our shows at Chicago Stadium and the locals broke into our trailers overnight and stole every thing they could carry.

I know that there are some nice areas of Chicago but the crime is out of control and the democrats who run the city refuse to do anything to stop it.

Sorry about your things. Seriously.

But not sure what politics has to do with anything though.

Don't you realize that when the Republicans are running things that there is no crime, gangs or murder. You really need to start reading the script before rehearsals.

Chicago is one of the greatest cities in the world. It is a mecca for music and food. Architecturally it is one of America's crowning jewels. I've never once felt unsafe on any of my visits. Not walking or using the mass transit systems.

I hope to be returning this year for some ball games. I love Chicago.

What large cities are run by Republicans and what is their crime rate I wonder?

Keep wondering until you learn to source factual data.
To date, you have not.

One of the first things people think when asked about Chicago is political corruption.
The next is gangs, shootings and murder.

Chicago has been run exclusively by democrats for over 80 years.

Hate to tell you but goes for pretty much every major American city. Some would say the entire country sadly. Republicans sell guns that are used and then you blame the Democrats for not controlling it. That's funny.

Bloods and Crips are Republicans so vote for them and all crime will stop. Sure that's going to happen.

You know some really jaded people. I know many folks that, if I bring up Chicago, they will say, "Great city! I love it! I can't wait to go back!"

No protest here. I hate Chicago deep dish pizza. I grew up in NJ, the land of illiegal Sicilian immigrants. I like me pizza thin and greasy so you have to fold the slice over to keep the toppings from sliding off.

“Bloods and Crips are Republicans”

I’ve seen some pretty stupid posts here in the WP but this one ranks right up at the top.

Outright lies.

But it does conform to the liberal’s standard. First, lie. Second, blame Republicans. Third, never take responsibility for your own failures.

Just another f*cking coward who cannot debate an issue on its merits while hiding in its “safe zone”.
