Pastor Corey Brooks: Walgreens didn’t abandon Chicago’s South Side. We let crime drive them out – FOX News
"Several years ago, the Walgreens just feet from my church on King Drive in Woodlawn closed its doors too. Across the street, the McDonald’s fled as well.

What really bothers me is the people talking about everything except the real issue."
