Another great episode. If you are able to swing it, I’d like to hear some stories from combat vets, especially GWOT guys. The combat stories are starting to come out now, and some shows, that are obviously controlled opposition, are telling the raw experiences of soldiers and operators. I’m sure there are plenty of ourguys with some time overseas.
very cool, eager to have more. as much as you can muster! excited for walkin' around content with those guys. as a truly provincial southerner, urban content is fascinating to me. i'd aiight, although not great if dropped innawoods, but damned if i wouldn't be fucked if dropped innacity. driving down to ATL for hardcore shows and such was about all i could stomach. need the woods and the hills. very thankful for the opportunity to get insight and vicarious experience from y'all.
Awesome content! Mayor Johnson as the Invisible Man, lol. I was wondering lately myself why he doesn’t appear much, with his pointy little fauxhawk. But seriously, the city vibe really did start to shift with Rahm from feeling like an uneasy yet stable equilibrium of local centers, to a tax farm for trendy cosmopolitan college graduates. And politically you could tell there was a new machine in town electorally, since so many Daley-era candidates like Gery Chico and Karen Lewis with the Teachers union all couldn’t seem to find their asses with both hands and just got steamrolled in media and campaigning.
I also remember seeing the migrants outside the Bowmanville station in the fall and thinking WTF, how can this work in the winter? I’m curious how much the Catholic Church is involved, wittingly or unwittingly. I know that agitating to house migrants without any long-term plans is a speciality of do-gooder Progressive women’s parish groups, and Archbishop Cupich has had a long-standing preoccupation with bolstering the cultural identity of local Hispanic parishes.
Question: you guys were taking about the uptick in cartel-related Latin gang activity. On the Hispanic front politically, what’s your guys’ opinion of Chuy Garcia? Do local guys like him have any pull with new incoming organizations, or do we expect the newcomers to start grooming and fielding their own representatives?
Also, a question related to last time when you were discussing the projects. I remember reading an article in the Reader about 10 years ago about the Lapham projects on Diversey and how there was a top-down push for racial integration in them that was generally unwanted by the applicants since it separated them from their cultural support networks. Does that sound plausible?
Chicago Tapes Ep. 26: 7homas, Cornbread, and Big D go fishing together at a local trout farm where they discuss 80's Hip Hop and Adolf Hitler. Someone almost falls into the trout pond and small children flee the scene when things get ROUGH owing to an unfortunate turn of events.

Love to hear the regional shit. Chicago is an interesting place but to me it's very alien.
Great content man. I’m a Appalachian man so this is very foreign to me but cool to learn about.
THANX! Appreciate your feedback very much.

AGREED on all counts. YES - HIGHLY plausible. THANX for the feedback.
This is very insightful, appreciate this form of content that deals in raw realties about the street dynamics of Chi Town. Keep it up, man.
Great episode. I really dig the Chicago content.
Ausgezeichnet!
DANKE
Ihr kreativer Geist ist überlegen!

Fascinating
