Abandoned
You think businesses don't notice the lack of cops in the neighborhoods?
- One of the West Side’s main commercial corridors was in freefall
after the one-two punch of the pandemic and looting that devastated many businesses.
Now an uptick in street violence and drug sales in broad daylight threaten to be the final nail in the coffin for businesses along Madison Street in West Garfield Park, business owners said.
Business owners and chamber of commerce leaders said police officers are nowhere to be found along the corridor, which has become too dangerous for customers.
Where might this little slice of heaven be located?
- In the Harrison (11th) Police District, which includes the stretch of Madison Street, shootings are up 50 percent, murders up 26 percent and robberies up 15 percent compared to this point in 2019, according to police data.
According to internal CPD counting, 011 just had it's eightieth homicide last week.
You read that correctly - 80.
And aldercreature Ervin, who "represents" most of that area (along with crack houses in Maywood) is strangely silent - almost like Groot told him to shut up and not mention all the cops stripped out of the west side and sent downtown.
And yes, we know downtown is an economic engine supplying tons of tax revenue. But there are still actual people who live in Lawndale and Austin and Garfield Park who are paying a steep price for Groot's mismanagement.

Downtown is dead and ain't paying shit. I ask every citizen to come to River North late p.m. early a.m. and witness what is happening. (at your own risk)
God bless the righteous stuck inside the shi%hole of 11, for the rest, just let the self cleaning oven do what it does best.
"And yes, we know downtown is an economic engine supplying tons of tax revenue."
Obviously you have to reallocate resources to, "put out fires" as they say in the business world, but you can only do that for so long until your customers, or in this case, the businesses themselves can no longer sustain their presence, and move or simply close down.
Look at Madison & Pulaski all these years after the riots. It's a damn desert, man.

oh well... they voted for the troll
With that being said 011 still have more officers than all districts north from Belmont combined. If fact, often in 011 officers are tripping on each other with historicaly same outcome - #1 in violent crime. Place is a complete filth, bosses are there just to have it on resume. devils toting guns and dope on the corner around so called shopping corridors are protected by foxxx Inc. They may as well remove all police from 011 and send these murder loving savages dins and vins electronically or via social workers.
Another "Mass Shooting"* (Cut from Hey Jackass)

5 shot one of them dead.
Where's the outrage? Where's the Dwarf? Phather Faker? Where's the media?
Why is this OK every weekend in Chicago??? Sometimes at several locations.
Other than Hey Jackass and SCC this is not news anywhere. Why not???
*A mass shooting is an incident involving multiple victims of gun violence. There is no widely accepted definition of the term mass shooting. The United States' FBI follows the Investigative Assistance for Violent Crimes Act of 2012 definition for active shooter incidents and mass killings (defined by the law as three or more people) in public places. Based on this, it is generally agreed that a mass shooting is whenever three or more people are shot (injured or killed), not including the shooters.[1]
Hey how about redeploying officers from Cmdr. Spencer's HUD rental properties to the Madison commercial strip.
94-4A
She has to be the biggest IDIOT ever elected mayor in this city!!! And the upper command of this department is a complete 🤡🤡🤡show!!
So where I now get my hoagy?
It is the people of the South and West sides that pay the price for everything! They have been designated cannon fodder for the leftist agenda. That pile of bodies we accumulate at the end of the year, those 600, 700 or even 800 dead people are all for the most part UNARMED BLACK MEN. But hey, they don't seem to mind; if they did mind, they should do something about it besides blame the rest of us, we all in bed when that shit go down.
Chicago is dying.
Didn’t the residents of 011 vote for this? Aren’t they currently voting for this right now?
Elections have consequences.
It's all over.
We have a progressive liberal in charge and there are too many factors against police being the police.
Proactive policing has been killed.
Let it be.
"And yes, we know downtown is an economic engine supplying tons of tax revenue. But there are still actual people who live in Lawndale and Austin and Garfield Park who are paying a steep price for Groot's mismanagement."
Elections have consequences. They supported her.
Isn't 11 like one square mile? Imagine 80 people getting shot in a 1 mile area around your house. Total chaos. Complete lack of control for impulses, emotions and a civil society.
The good people left will flee along with their businesses, what is amazing is that they stayed this long. Still don't see any of the BLM protesters their or even buying up the houses cheap.
according to our (011) daily briefing 011 has 81 as of 20 October.
The funny thing is about protecting downtown. Its not ever going to come fully back the longer the mayor keeps it shut down the more people and business realize they can work from home or from another remote location. Why should they pay the high taxes when they don't have to. The democrat politicians are that stupid to realize. Keep it closed for your political gain - NOT, the only gain is going to where the republicans control and are open.
Think of all of the social services that will be able to open up in all of those vacant storefronts, no tax payers, no police, what could go wrong.
The measures that would be needed to reverse that trend would be so Draconian that Mayor BugEyes would never allow them.
Can wiser minds than mine please explain this...Chicago is promoting "Open House Chicago". This is an effort to encourage folks to come to the city and tour it's cultural heritage in the neighborhoods. First, so much of the "heritage" has been torn down. Second, and exceptionally important, so much of citizen safety (police) has been relocated to downtown. How can visitors safety be assured in the neighborhoods without police presence?
Have you noticed that there have been no mentions of shootings or murders in the media in the last week.
All police should be removed from 011, they hate us anyway, let them police themselves
Lari as a mayor is like a grade schooler as a NFL quarterback.
Don’t worry though the mayor is going to cut the police department, defunding Lay-off etc. but then again the states attorney she prosecute nothing did you also see the states attorney just got a big influx of a 1/2 million dollars for Democratic sources because her polling is going down she Has to go Vote straight Republican unless you’re a total moron and want to continue to see the destruction this one’s progress city state county
Fat ass gang lover Maywood crack house boy Ervin and his ignorant fat ass wife are total Lori ass kissers who are allowed to do anything because they suck up to Lori. The black caucus is also totally corrupt.
And yes, we know downtown is an economic engine supplying tons of tax revenue. But there are still actual people who live in Lawndale and Austin and Garfield Park who are paying a steep price for Groot's mismanagement.

Well that's the price to pay when you live for generations off the government, you have to lighten the load every once in a while...
The hood always had the most police with the least tax payers. They complain about too much poolice HAraaasing peoples. Now complaining not enough police. Its tuff to patrol those that are "impossible" when you cant do this, don't do that, don't chase, do not stop him cause hes black ( meanwhile the whole neighborhood black..), do not point your gun bla bla bla. Then more training on how not to be the police. So what happens? The deceptive criminal takes advantage of soft police. More crimes, more police getting hurt, and more citizens being hurt. Way more citizens getting hurt than the collateral damage by police putting handcuffs too tight or even rarely killing someone without clear justification. Even then since obama started the war on police in 2008 we had way too many watchdog groups.The criminals cause way more damage now. So their solution is to blame police and increase the watchdog groups. People policing police that know nothing about law enforcement. Idiots!
Had been patrolling around 11 very recently and watched a pass out occur, dozens of hypes showing up ! What i found funny was 3 blocks away you got the rotund Alderman enjoying a garage party at his residence ! Zero f**ks given !
These businesses and honest hardworking people in the neighborhood need to get in Lightfoot and the aldermen’s face and tell them “to stop bashing and demonizing the police!” All these hostile activists Lightfoot has put in positions of power are killing morale. A hating police board and COPA is very bad for the safety if our communities. Lightfoot needs to be removed from office before Chicago dies.
The Chamber of Commerce has been worthless this entire year. They are acting like Putzker owns them. No one should renew their membership in the Chamber.
What crime? There’s this virus goin’round.
Just as folks were rebooting and getting back online, Larri’s words and answer to last Springs crime uptick, even pathetic, selfish AlderStooge Tellafairyo repeated that assessment. So either the folks are still too cooped up or somethings amiss with the leadership partners...includeing CookCo States Attorney KmmFxxxUp? Ervin is only interested in his cuts, no different than old skool William ‘Bill’ Henry.
I left Harrison-Fillmore LLC in the mid 80’s, I’ll bet I’d still recognize it today like it’s always been, maybe most of the abandoned factories are gone but still just as spicy, unlike gentrified 014 which evolved tremendously and unrecognizable, but now its going through retrograde.
The Sour, Manic Twitch Larri so far has $50 million (?) in Covid’s pledges destined for zip code specific Communities Re-Investment to rebuild what they destroyed just last July....and periodically since 1968. Oh yeah and don’t forget Larri wants a casino plopped down somewheres on the west side will bring in tourists, revenues and jobs. And speaking of Merit picks without accountability, there’s also gonna have to be set asides for Jugghead SpecialEd’s pincushion settlemints.
Machine politics continues. Under LightFührer’s and JB Pigfluenza’s shutdown/lockdown and tax policy, this decay will spread north by northwest faster than a crop duster chasing Roger Thornhill.
Quarantine 1st & 16
An empty lockup keeps the COPA away.
Kim Foxxxxx could shoot someone at Madison and Pulaski and they'd still vote for her.
That’s where I get my groceries!! Oh no!
You know, it wasn’t that difficult to stop. She could have asked for the national guard to take care of downtown and Michigan Ave early on. But NO, politics was way more important than Chicago. She is a disgrace.
80 homicides? Man, those white supremacists have been busy, busy, busy.
5 shot one of them dead.
Where's the outrage? Where's the Dwarf? Phather Faker? Where's the media?

You won't hear a damn thing, because the shooting is minority gang related. To report it as such would be racist.
How in the hell are the detectives keeping up? I used to work there, and we were SWAMPED in RBT.
We use to have the most officers in the 11 th district,but over the last year we have lost over 64 officers. I know we shouldn't cry,but this is a dramatic difference in manpower.
You can’t live by the contradiction. You can’t defund the police, hold anti police marches and support anti police politicians. They demand and need all the help in the world. You can’t have it both ways. Nobody can resolve the bullshit which is “ life” on the west side.
They say that Repubs hate Blacks.
Yet the Dems who've been running Chicago for decades have amassed a huge bodycount of Blacks.
Yet they - and others as well - keep voting for what just doesn't work.
Not only doesn't it work but it's almost a genocide that the Dems have done on the Black family.
I know..I'm speaking to the choir.
Sigh.
Chicago is dying.
Waiting on the documentary.

It's around 6 square miles.

The aldermen sold out their populations for this hoodtrash mayor. Continue to ask me, "where is the police?" I continue to say "Sorry we are short on manpower, contact the local aldermen, mayor and the superintendent if you want more police." I have no remorse left, these are the same idiots who kill their "family" for a few dollars and scream "defund the police, get the fuck out of my neighborhood" but call us to arrest their "family". Yup, doesn't work that way hoodtrash, take the useless paper and eat your own shit.

When I was a kid in the 50’s we shopped at Baer Brothers and Prodi and went to the Marlboro Theatre, both of which were on Madison, just west of Pulaski. 2 enormous theaters were on Pulaski, the Paradise and the Crawford. The Marlboro rivaled any theater that was downtown for opulence and beauty. Difficult to remember now what an enormous shopping and entertainment destination Madison and Pulaski was. All of it is gone now, of course.....long gone.
Now Jabba and that greasy, hair receding Arawady are going to have daily Coronavirus briefings to say that "the Coronavirus is not going away" and "Coronavirus doesn't take holidays" every freaking day and Jabba will have some stupid FEMA jacket on try to look all Presidental.
If Trump wins send the IRS and audit the books and see how inflated these numbers were. Now they are shutting us down again. Yes, Second Wave, its called the flu you con artists. He also indicated no Winter High School sports just to rile you up some more.

F*ck 011 district, the area. I got out in 2016. Best move ever, did half my career there. Do you're time and leave. Nothing has ever changed there. It just gets worse. BEFORE you didn't mind working there because you could still be the police. I can only imagine the lunacy now, dealing with the same scum bags and having you're hands tied.
And to think we used to shop there madison and pulaski, when I was a kid... different world.

I live in 10, just south, and had to stop even walking my dog in Douglas(s) Park because of all the needles scattered about the northern end. Don't need that vet bill
Ahhh memories of Madison & Pulaski. Can someone tell an old retired guy if Luigis is still there?
I just went to Google street view to see the old Guyon Hotel, a beautiful building left to rot on West Washington, just like the rest of the old Madison-Pulaski retail area.
It was once such a vibrant area, just like 63rd and Halsted.
Luigis is definitely still there Madison/keeler
