Chicago has a few areas of racist black people who really hate white

Traveling those areas will get you killed...especially if your car

Even Mayor Lori Lightfoot has a taxpayer-funded armed security service
protecting her.

The first time I was in Chicago was for the National plastics Exposition
in '72. The hotel clerk said 'Welcome to Chicago. Enjoy your stay. Don't
go south of Roosevelt'. A friend was at the University, a little enclave
in South Chicago so I did drive through deepest, darkest Chicago.
Unfortunately, she was in South America on a dig so it was a wasted
trip. I don't want to think what it's like 50 years later.

In the early 70's, I used to frequently travel to Chicago on business.
It wasn't much of a culture shock to me though as I was based in Detroit
at the time.

While I lived in the lovely lake country in the NW burbs, my office was
right downtown at the foot of Woodward Avenue.

A real adventure going to work, especially during the gas crunch when I
was reduced to commuting a 70 mile round trip on my motorcycle.
