Not sure why this is here, its guaranteed flame-bait, and, given its origin, is also shockingly one sided. I'm a grandson of the city, I've lived here for years, been coming here since I was born. My great grandfather literally built a home here with his own hands, was a well respected doctor. My grandfather was an alderman of a bordering suburb. I'm telling anyone willing to listen this is garbage flame bait and I hope others will join me in flagging it.
