Off the topic...
Craig,
Next time you want to take things in your own hands on getting graffiti removed from buildings, just call this number; 312-744-4857 (Debbie). This number is the head of Graffiti busters of Chicago. They will be out that day. This way you can really look like a hero. Just think of the headlines; "Craig, a.k.a. Super Rogers Park, gets graffiti removed in less than 24 hours. Who else in Rogers Park can get that done?"
Thanks for the tip Jordan, but my connection is a little higher up the ladder.
A bit off topic, but has anybody ehard about a bunch of churches in the area having items like their down spouts stolen? St. Margaret Mary just got hit and the cops said there have been others. They were made of copper.
