Chicago Crime dot org
A freely browsable database of crimes reported in Chicago.

I suddently realized I could look up my iPod incident on this, but the day it happened isn't yet posted.
However, in looking up my street I realized that the most recent crime currently listed here:
http://www.chicagocrime.org/streets/evergreen_ave/2600w/
was when a bunch of "kids" threw rocks at the car two spaces down from mine and smashed his windshield.
Last night I woke up to six gun shots -- literally right behind my house -- at 1:38 am. It is so sad how many "kids" die in my neighborhood all the time and it never makes the news. And nobody really wants to do anything about it.
Anyway, that's my commentary for the day.
