CPD increases presence in River North to combat uptick in crime – Chicago Sun-Times*

“You can draw a line from when COVID restrictions opened up for indoor dining and whatnot; as that opened up, this neighborhood became very popular as it has historically been one of Chicago’s premier dining and entertainment districts, and with that came a new wave of crime and menace that you’ve not felt in the past,” said Daniel Alonso of Bonhomme Hospitality.

Check CWB, while they’re holding outdoor roll call/parade. A gang of thieves were rolling through river north to raise funds. Eight people contributed and one shot!

As “The Paraclete,” you might have the coolest hook of all Wirepoints commenters.

Many years ago, on the last page of the Chicago Trib Sunday magazine, they’d interview celebrities by using stock topics. One of the topics was: “I’d give anything to meet …” George Carlin answered “The Holy Ghost.”
