Best Wishes, Chicago

Indeed, a new Mayor you need…
As too many citizens, did die or bleed.

I watch my hometown, going down,
It makes me both cry and frown.

I reemember when Chicago was a delight and sweet.
No dead bodies lined the streets!

The  “L”  was great train transportation!
I rode it,without parents,and no consternation!

Downtown was then, a safe place to be
We shopped there as girls,no adult company.

So, here’s to Chicago and it’s great architecture.
Hope you end Mayor Lightfoot’s failed tenure!!

Dedicated to Chicago…Best to all citizens!

Even with Valas, it will not be a palace, but with Johnson, I'll move to Wisconsin. (He's endorsed by the Teacher's Union. That's enough for me to vomit right there).

I’d start packing.teachers Union? NO! I had to howl when Lightfoot said she lost because of racism. She herself is a top racist. She has a federal case, pending against her for not allowing a white man in the press to ask any questions. Or she threw them out I forgot anyway, she’s a perfect example of no equity, except for herself. .Boo, Pangie

Pangie, I have never been to Chicago, but it sounds like it is in company with Newark, NJ near me. Such a shame what becomes of places that once was. Hugs Charlie
