Short but Informative Report from Chicago’s South Side

A sister-in-law located in Chicago who had her 70th birthday yesterday informs me:

“They’ve been rioting and looting at my store they thinking about closing it it’s so heavily damaged all the black areas in Chicago close are devastating they tore up the black community.”

Her area is 15 miles from Chicago proper, near 79th street in a residential area with substantial homes. I’ve shopped in the store she speaks of, a Food Basket. It’s very convenient and well-stocked, and this is a real bad deal if it closes. Police could not or did not protect Michigan Avenue either.
