I made the mistake of stopping at a convenience store in the area. I came out and to my car, and a bum literally materialized right behind me asking for money for booze, I mean food. He needed lots of booze because he obviously bathed in it.<br /><br />I thought what the hell. I opened my wallet, pulled a 20 and handed it to him. he was so shocked he didn't try to kill me. He told me to never do something like that again in that area of town as I would surely be killed. I smiled and said Thanks and drove off.Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05287399775879832602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4302795000497411021.post-90350817293566710482016-09-29T13:06:46.038-07:002016-09-29T13:06:46.038-07:00My best friend still lives back in Joliet.

He bought a house in a "good" part of Joliet and now that he's retired he can't afford to move, and that part of the city has "degraded" some.<br /><br />He was out mowing his lawn earlier this year, and some punk kids drove by and blasted him with a paint ball gun.<br /><br />I'm surprised he didn't return fire with his 1911, but then it was a Saturday morning, in a once very nice neighborhood, and you just don't expect that sort of thing to happen.drjimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05647484115197408897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4302795000497411021.post-24492910989626014172016-09-29T02:34:56.695-07:002016-09-29T02:34:56.695-07:00Dr Jim: Joliet has itself turned into Murder City ...Dr Jim: Joliet has itself turned into Murder City as of late.

They vote these scalawags into office decade after decade. The place is dead broke (unlike Bill and Hillary, REALLY dead broke), and still racking up red ink, getting deader and broker. <br /><br />Just a note: I am not of midwestern roots, nor Chicagoan by birth, just here for economic reasons. I am from a similar liberal swamp, Oregon, though.
