More animals in CLT

We have some really abysmal people in leadership positions, whether actual or just visual.

Utter embarrassment. Sheriff, my a$$.

We just got a new Chief of Police, Estella D. Patterson.

The list is long. The Chamber of Commerce is a mess too.

I’ve never been in Oakland… but I’m visiting Chicago every other day.

You can say whatever you feel is right in your opinion… but for last 21 years I personally experienced ZERO violence problems in that city.
Everything is about when, where and how. If you know how to use that knowledge you will avoid issues.

Fair enough. Like I said, I avoided places mentioned in rap songs.

As for Oakland, for the first time in its history, In-N-Out shut down a branch.

We have similar situation in Chicago Southside… yeah.. that place is the worst part of the City…

Walgreens is closing their stores…. and I cannot blame Company for this move. Residents are upset… but whose fault is it? :joy: I don’t know any Company who wants to do business with people who rob them… :zipper_mouth_face:

I was there for a good amount of time(UK village, Gold Coast, Park Ridge etc) and I never had any issues, but going between 85th and 100th streets, try not to stop for the lights or signs.
