It's Safe!
- Two men suffered graze wounds near the Red Line station in the South Loop late this morning, authorities said.
One of the men, 57, was standing at a bus stop east of State Street on Roosevelt Road shortly after 11 a.m. when he heard a gunshot and felt something hit his leg, police said, citing preliminary information. The other man, 30, suffered a graze wound to the back, police said.
Both were being taken in good condition to Northwestern Memorial, officials said.
And near the Red Line, too?

Uh, no, this isn't the up and coming area of Chicago. With homes way over half a mil a matter of a thousand feet away, and condos on the old HQ property going for up to a million, it's the 'already there' area of Chicago.
And no one is safe.
Up and coming? The South Loop is Bronzeville North.
Yep, they just got done glorifying it
"THIS IS THE NEW CHICAGO"
The hottest urban center in the U.S. — Chicago's mega-Loop
See the city of Chicago is now defined as a small area around city hall so the political apparatus can say we're number one at something.
It's like how the violent crime is falling math is done.
Portrayed as a vibrant rich educated high tech community...
It's late afternoon on a winter weekend and the Kerasotes ShowPlace Icon movie theaters in the South Loop are packed, never mind that tickets go for as much as $17.50 a pop. The 14-screen complex is doing “very well,” says Tony Kerasotes, owner of Chicago-based Kerasotes ShowPlace Theatres LLC. With more than 1 million admissions last year, in fact, “it's the best-grossing theater in the Midwest,” he claims.
Barely a decade ago, the site at Roosevelt Road and Clark Street was a forsaken railroad yard. Today, it's part of a 1.3 million-square-foot complex of shops, restaurants and apartments. This is the new Chicago, a skyscraper-studded expanse that stretches well beyond the traditional Loop to cover 10 square miles roughly from Cermak Road to North Avenue and from the lakefront to Ashland Avenue.
Oooo so excited. One movie theater say's he's doing great. Don't ya wanna move there right now??
Wait.but check this load of... it continues.
This is the new economic engine of the metropolitan area and, increasingly, the rest of Illinois. And it has reached a critical mass, data suggest, enabling its growth to be self-perpetuating, as more jobs downtown attract more residents to move nearby, which, in turn, becomes a magnet for more employers to join the inward migration.
The Chicago Loop long has been one of the world's greatest job centers, of course. For much of its history, though, downtown emptied out after office hours. And as the city aged and its population declined, the suburbs rose to become the preferred home to generations of young families and the tollways became employment corridors of their own.
In recent years, those trends have reversed. After decades of watching the suburbs boom (often at the city's expense), Chicago now is outperforming the surrounding area by almost any measure—jobs, income, retail sales and residential property values, to name a few—despite the loss of 200,000 people in the 2010 census.
Oh really?
Check the US Census data and see how Chicago is outperforming the surrounding area by almost any measure. It's not outperforming Illinois or the USA as a whole when it comes to wages. There's more poverty here.
Check the last BLS report the labor force is going down in numbers and the reason unemployment is down is that people are no longer counted as unemployed because they've exhausted their unemployment -- and this story wants you to think that this tiny little 10 mile area is gonna pull the entire state out of bankruptcy!! HAHAHAHA. IT's SELF PERPETUATING !!
The comment at that link says it all..

WRT: Income is booming in Chicago
How is that possible?
By bribing Boeing, Motorola, Sears, United Airlines and others with tax breaks to move their HQ's to Downtown Chicago I suppose you can show a big increase in income.
However to the entire Chicago area isn't just taking money out of one pocket and putting it into the other.
That corporate income if we isolate on it would imply that we are getting an increase of tax revenue for city services. However what about all the tax breaks that were handed out to bribed them to move here? Did we net anything?
Anyways, that would paint a pretty picture of growth wouldn't it? Only problem is how much of it is tricking down? The jobs were moved here and no real opportunities of any means where created by the moves. And still with all these numbers games the BLS shows a shirking labor force.
Boeing just shut down it's I/T center out west and moved it. Boeing did not Choose Chicago to move it to, It went to St Louis.

Motorola is not hiring, Sears is not hiring. Groupon, the company that partnered with Rahm for "Ideas Week" to sell Chicago as the place to be for entrepreneurs, the Groupon CEO went back to Silicon Valley to start another company.
Don't look at the $2.5 billion dollars being pissed away on gun violence..no, look at the ten sq. miles around city hall it's outgrowing everything.
Oh My!!!! Can we believe it. Bystanders grazed by bullets the Chicago Way. How about those values?
I noticed GRAZED WOUNDS are being reported more often.
WOW
And stabings should be puncture wounds????
Those media affairs clowns are brilliant.
Right by the old HQ. Funny.
Roosevelt Road - the gateway to the Museum Campus (Field Museum, Shedd Aquarium, Planetarium). heard the entrance fee at the Shedd is now $38.00 for an adult? Could that possibly be true? How could a family afford this?
Gangs and their pols refuse to bend to Rahm.
Do not overlook the homicide at 1400 E. 52nd Street as it is less than a half-mile from Obama's well protected Rezko financed mansion!
I felt safe when I rode the green line from 35th- 95th. There were about 15 police officers at each stop. Also I rode for free which was nice.
I miss that area... the way it was, deserted.

Probably, and to think that the Chicago Park District
portion of your property tax
assessement goes to finance
the museseums, the aquarium,
and the planetarium in addition to the outrageous admission fees they charge. What a
rip-off, they're raking it
in from both ends. Oh, I almost
forgot to mention that Brookfield Zoo and Lincoln Park Zoo is also under the Park District umbrella.
That area is terrifying . Used to go to Vogue Fabrics on Roosevelt. No more. Effing freaks roam the area like packs of wolves.
Look at what that little jag created...

The money must be running out and it's time to redo the contract for a few more million.
Keep sending the VRI to the ghetto.... fuck the taxpayers.
That's Napolean and McFailure's philosophy.

innocent. #1 was a old bustout waiting for the bus. #2 was just walking with his girlfriend, he wasnt grazed. He was hit with the slugg that flattened after richocheting off the wall, left a welt on his lower back.
Keep your guns clean and loaded. Practice your draw. Time of reckoning is coming soon. Bodies might drop after illionians get our God given rights back to protect ourselves, in the long run this will save many more lives. Let's hope it' the bad guy that drops, not the tax paying citizens with barely any criminal history. Common sense also goes a long way too. RED LINE = RED CRIME SCENE TAPE.
I live in the nabe. The Roosevelt station is the main danger zone, but normally manageable. The Redline work has me worried. Lots of crowds now waiting for busses. What's that gonna be like when it gets hotter?
Have no fear Mass transit tact is here!!!! Headed by the elite expertise of those whiteshirts. They are the elite. So dont be afraid the cta is safe!!! Bring your friends!!!! Lunch time
