You wear it well.
Authenticity? I've lived in this town my whole life. I can convey properly how high strung and dickish the average resident is here.
Spend some time here. Walk the streets, ride the El. Go to Lincoln park zoo. You'll consistently observe people being ****ty to one another. At least once a week I witness a verbal altercation between people arguing over dumb crap.Well, this leaves me wondering where. As diverse a city as Chicago is, making broad, general statements like you've done don't give me too much by way of reassurance.
I'd move out of this sewer if it weren't for my job. Hell I dunno, I'd like to live in Austin Texas or Hawaii or something.

I'll be honest. I'd contribute to the plane ticket. One way, of course.
I prefer to live with people who enjoy their lives here, like virtually everyone I know.

Oh, are you looking for a pissing contest to see who's more "Chi-town" ? Besides mentioning that my mother was born on South Blackstone, owned a brownstone on seminary right behind the firehouse on Waveland at Cubs park. I was born at Illinois Masonic, the Greenmill was my home for ten years as was Carols pub for a bit. My first job was at Byron's original Vienna beef stand. This town is in my blood. I love it and I hate it.I've lived in Chicago my entire life. Lived in Roseland, old Bum Town, lived in Lincoln Park, Halsted and Willow right across from King Crab, Steppenwolf Theatre sign shined through my living room window, lived in Lakeview, Seminary and George right down the street from R. Kelly's old house. Ashland and Nelson, right down from The Art of Pizza, was married at St. Alphonsus on Wellington, had my wedding pics taken on the bridge in Lincoln Park, lived in Lincoln Square, in Ravenswood Manor had Blago as a neighbor, in Budlong Woods... I've been around pal...
I've rode the Brown line, the Red line, the Blue line, the Green line, the Orange line, the Yellow line out to Skokie, the Purple to Evanston...been there done that, the #11 Lincoln bus, the 92 Foster, the 93 Dodge, the 147 Outer Drive Express, 77 Belmont, man, many, many times...
Jew town polishes off Roosevelt before Halsted and Maxwell where you'd get everything under the sun and name your price, The Green Mill in Uptown, ever Sunday you use to find me at the bar with a Manhattan listening to Patricia Barber, on Sat Sabretooth, or down on S Clark at Buddy Guy's..Mr Beef's on Orleans...Big City on Belmont fr after houtrs and a stop next door for packaged goods to swill as a nitecap after that from 1000 liquors or under the El to Clarks for some early morning chow...
I AM Chicago...
So you'll have to go a little further with your bona fides than naming a zoo...

This town is full of angry yahoo's will bill beat the **** out of someone over a parking space. Give those yahoos permission to carry guns in public and bad things will happen.
Texas DPS - CHL Conviction Rates Reports
Should make you feel a little safer. In short...of the 63,272 crimes convicted in the state of Texas, only .18% were concealed carry holders.
http://http://www.suntimes.com/news/metro/26503501-761/nw-side-man-is-first-concealed-carry-permit-holder-arrested-in-chicago.html I'd wager that this is a sign of things to come. There's going to be more arrests of more people who get pissed off over some petty thing and feel justified in pulling a pistol just because the have a CCP.
Hey that's our line here in Indiana!Yeah, that's what happens when entire neighborhoods fill up with exports from Ohio...
Funny thing is this happened in Edison Park, the safest neighborhood in Chicago...
The article says he was arrested for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon but didn't go into any details other than it was a dispute over rent money.So the man lost his permit for brandishing a weapon?
You realize you're contradicting yourself right? When you categorize safe neighborhoods vs. not so safe you're backing up HenryChinaski's case that this town doesn't need more people with guns.
Hey that's our line here in Indiana!
Do you have any sort of evidence that the guy wouldn't have pulled the gun even if he didn't have CCP? If not then you have no argument.Like I said there's gonna be more CC tough guys arrested for pulling their guns over things that don't need guns pulled. People in this town are assholes by nature and giving them the go ahead to carry a gun in public is a bad idea.
Actually, guns aren't the problem. Asshole people are the problem.
The most ignorant self entitled SOBS I've ever had the misfortune to meet... Guess what Bucky? You ain't the NorthEast, got it? You're no effete elitists... You've got Cleveland for Chrissake!!!!
Of course there are no other details, the renter probably knew he was a person that carried. Got into it with him and called the police crying that he was threatened with a gun.The article says he was arrested for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon but didn't go into any details other than it was a dispute over rent money.

Cleveland isn't in Indiana. Get a map. LOL
And Chicago doesn't have the market cornered by high strung people. From my exoerience it's common in past paced big cities.
