And just LOOK at what the world would see of us

Fresh from this morning's headlines around Chicago:

Teen shooting victim called 'mama's boy' -- Sun TImes

Boy, 14, shot in head, 'extremely critical' -- Sun Times

Driver shot by pedestrian in Oak Park -- Sun Times

Park Forest woman fatally shot at home -- Sun TImes

Cops seek car in hit-run death of GI -- Sun Times

Man fatally shot on South Side front porch -- Sun Times

Teen is shot for the 3rd time this year -- Tribune


Is this REALLY the face of our city and suburbs we'd like to show the world? Again, the Olympics have a much higher price tag than dollars.

One could well imagine an eager foreign press eating up those headlines and calling us Detroit
