In "Case" You Missed It
Thursday, June 21, 2007 | |
Looks like the much anticipated "display cases" to showcase the Arai Middle School's artwork have been installed. We can't help but notice the "cases" look like they should be showing the next showtime for "Spiderman 3." Windows would have looked awful, right? We'll keep telling ourselves that.
I can't for the life of me figure out why they didn't put Windows in?
And why the enterace faces away from the street.
But I moved to Uptown late last hear from another hood in Chicago.
We wonder how long it will be before these cases are covered in "gang tags."
The system is obviously broken when something like this is allowed. Why did the Dept. of Planning not speak up to stop Ald. Shiller from allowing this monstrocity?
Aldi's always has a habit of minimizing windows. Even when they go into existing buildings with large windows, they often brick them in.
Why does Alderman Shiller allow this monstrosity? She CREATED this monstrosity. 2011 election can't come soon enough.
Given Shiller and the track record of the public elementary schools she uses as her political patronage base - Joan Arai, Stockton, and Uplift, the question is not how long before the cases are covered in gang tags. The real question is what gang tags will be displayed in the cases.
This is no joke. The public mural wall she orchastrated at Gill Park had to be removed because of all the refences to gangs and violence imbedded in it.
Her former aldermanic office, which she owned on Montrose, was covered with FALN and gang grafitti. Se had it painted on the back by "grafitti artists" she hired and by underaged juveniles to whom she illegally supplied aerosal cans of paint. I have the photos of it being painted to prove it.
Definitely share those photos of spray painting!
It's not illegal to own spray paint in Chicago. As long as you plan to use it on property you "control".
The sale of spray paint is banned.
Just follow this link and search for the word 'spray'.

Providing cans of spray paint to juveniles is illegal and that is what I photographed.
Maybe those cases were meant to display the posters for the Kerasotes movie theaters.
12 cases, 12 theaters.
Didn't anyone tell Peter that Kerasotes backed out?
