One in Lincolnwood on Devon & I believe there's one in Elmwood Park on Harlem.Clark St.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09634234069783123180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-51742213998831719212017-12-18T12:40:53.001-06:002017-12-18T12:40:53.001-06:00Well, I have to admit that it "proves" t...Well, I have to admit that it "proves" that local gun laws, no matter how restrictive in theory, are completely ineffectual in deterring gun use, though I'm sure they do manage to make lengthy prison sentences even lengthier for certain people.<br /><br />johntatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10088632798195131329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-30997516720926603832017-12-18T11:55:18.585-06:002017-12-18T11:55:18.585-06:00Trump's entire presidency, and constant campai...Trump's entire presidency, and constant campaign, has been one distraction after another. He fancies himself a master of misdirection. Sideshow Donald and his shell game.

Now, I would welcome his turning attention to North Korea, were he to just up and wing it over to Pyongyang and schmooze the young dictator to death, what with his much vaunted negotiation skills. However, wars are more reliable distractions and what's a few million Korean lives worth as compared to Trump's legacy (ha ha).<br /><br />johntatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10088632798195131329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-23671076451023542402017-12-18T05:01:32.824-06:002017-12-18T05:01:32.824-06:00Now you might see them on a bicycle.
