79th Street Again
Two people were injured in a multi-vehicle collision that followed a three-mile police chase this afternoon, authorities said.
Both injured people were taken in serious-to-critical condition from the crash that occurred on 95th Street just west of Halsted Street to Advocate Christ Medical Center at about 1 p.m., said Chicago Fire Department spokesman Chief Joe Roccasalva.
The pursuit began near the 7900 Block of South Hermitage Avenue a few minutes before 1 p.m. and ended just minutes later, said Chicago Police News Affairs...
79th Street would be a perfect place for speed cameras, red light cameras, speed humps, Jersey barriers, curb bump-outs, traffic circles, twelve inch curbs, built in spike strips, tiger pits, random land mines, axle-buster potholes and near constant construction barricades.
For starters.

Maybe if they rename it, the curse will end?
79th street should be demolished from the Lake to Cicero, you'd cut out about 20% of crime in Chicago!
Just ask Daley how to do it in the middle of the night. No one will even notice that it's gone.

You forgot moats filled with alligators and giant mousetraps..
I do beg to differ Leo High School is an oasis in the madness.

Observed at 79th & Racine many years ago working special enjoyment...
Ole boy & ole girl duking it out in a vintage 1973 "Bruick" rolling w/b...
Funny thing was nobody had a hand on the wheel as the two "contestants" were flinging donuts at each other like a muthafuckah and the car was tracking straight and true at about 20 to 25 mph.
Gotta love that Dee-troit steel bitches! XD XD
Heh... Bus driver laughed his ass off and had to pull over... "You callin' that one in?"
Hell no... They're just conversatin' so why even bother?
Driver laughs, turns the wheel and we roll e/b into the night...
For straight up murder, mayhem and plenty of "ya see, dere go dat bullshit again" moments, 79th & Loomis was and arguably is the epicenter of nonsense west of the Ryan.
Jokes plenty about how moving the White Castle's from the southwest corner to the northwest corner just spread the bad ju-ju around.
Damn we're gettin' old!
Well, it's already got the potholes, but you forgot decapitation wires for motorcyclists. And giant swinging pit-and-the pendulum axes would be nice too.

Ran this past City Hall, they said they could help out with the potholes!

Compressors roaring, jackhammers going night and day, endless lines of revolving cement trucks with cursing drivers yelling and pointing at the load, then at their watches, "hired" semi-dumps blowing air horns, front-end loader backup alarms beeping...
Every single manhole will have a yellow blower duct going down it, guys standing by the utility truck, orange cones around the whole thing.
Every hydrant in use, hoses tangled up through everything, water squirting from the connectors.
Ten billion wooden stakes with Day-Glo tape for you to trip over.
Orange plastic mesh blocking everything that isn't sprayed with that weird blue grass seed stuff mixed with the invisible nylon netting that catches your shoes.
Dig, fill up, dig, fill up.
Demonstration showroom for Vanecko Road and Highway Supply.
You forgot the deep-sawed "drainage grooves" down the middle, the terrible sticking-up "bike lane" markers -- and especially the little bright-green plastic European "running child" things, the ones with the little hat and the flag.
Thousands upon thousands of those.
Lawd! Chuck done los' his mind.
It'd be something to see.

they come out and vote ""d""...all that matters
The jagoff driving the offender car should be given a camera speeding ticket. That will teach him a lesson.
the "79" has been a bitch since the 60's. Somewhere along that street, at any given time, there's a Felony in Progress going on.
Could we trrade 79th St. to Baltimore for a player to be named in the future?
