@cmcsmen Both my parents were born in Chicago in the 1930s and 40s it was an industrial powerhouse among many other Midwest cities. They along with their peers were incredibly talented and capable people. I tell people that generation whether they were raised in the city, suburbs, or country there's really not much they could not do. Most places were safe. They later met as neighbors in a close by old suburban town. Their bedroom windows used to literally face each other that's how they got to better know each other LOL

But sadly that City has always been a terribly corrupt with lots of Voter Fraud.
