The City of Chicago has..
 

...officially opened back up for Business today. :)

----About time!!!

First major US city to do so Bill. :)

Born and raised in Chicago, been gone since 1974. It’s always fun to get back for MCCAN.

I went up there a few months ago to try the pizza, not my style.

That is a Cool ICE rink, We took the Elevated Rail into town and took a peek at it in Nov 2019, (MCKAC-EN) Fun,

Congrats Chi-Town: Glad Ur Open.

During covid did the murder rate go down in Chicago?

The number of homicides and shootings in Chicago spiked dramatically in 2020, ending with more bloodshed than in all but one year in more than two decades, statistics released by police on Friday revealed.After three years of falling homicide totals, 2020 ended with 769 homicides — 274 more than the previous year and the most since the 784 homicides in 2016. The latest shooting victim figures told the same story, with the year ending with 4,033 shooting victims compared with 2,598 the year before.
And it never let up, as is illustrated by the fact that in December, there were 50 homicides — 19 more than occurred in December 2019....:frown:

Atlanta, Miami, Dallas, Houston have been open for months. You might have meant first major blue state city to open. :-)

50 people get shot in Chi-Raq every weekend. Only about a 1/4 of them die because today's hospitals are able to save a lot of them.
