* City Shuts Down Dollar Store on Morse Avenue

Exclusive File Photo of Babaian During Better Times

If you weren't able to get your "Do-Rags" in all colors or the largest selection of Blunts in all flavors from Babaian this week, it's not like Babaian wanted it that way.

If you walked by the 1500 block of West Morse Avenue this week and lived to tell, what you will found was....

Another gated-up storefront on Morse Avenue.

Another corner of blight.

You won't find "Happy" Heart here anytime soon.

Why?


The City of Chicago cracked down and closed the Morse Avenue Dollar Store at Ashland and Morse on March 13th. Better known as Babaian Dollar Deals 1550-52 W. Morse Ave.

Maybe it's best the City of Chicago closed Babaian before someone beat the shit out of him and killed him like someone did to Wayne Jones.

Dear Craig:

This post is most bizarre.
1)_The city most likely closed this man down because he did not have the right licenses or he was not remitting sales taxes.
2)_To draw a parallel between the city closing this man’s business and the death of Wayne Jones is weird. If you truly believe anyone on Morse Avenue is likely to meet their death soon, you should be standing guard 24/7. Since you're not, why draw the inference.
3)_Please let Mr. Jones rest in peace instead of using him to draw attention to your sad little post.
4)_What’s this about “do rags” and blunts. Almost sounds like a racist disdain for people. If you really feel this way, quit nibbling on the edges and come out and say exactly what you feel.
