* Can You Name this Corner?


A got a couple calls and a few emails about this sign today. Clearly some of the neighbors are pissed at Joe Moore and the 24th district police department with their handling (or not) of the drug dealers who live and work in Rogers Park. Shortly after taking these photos, some lady removed the signs.

Can you name this open air drug market corner?

That would be Hamilton and Chase. Go drd!!!! I got pictures too...I'll send them. Those MF's better get away from my parish/school. I have seen this shit crawling west of Ridge. Amazing though if I park illegally I am so ticketed. BRING ON THE LIQUID NAILS.

Wow - that's great! That sign needs to go back up - maybe you should put it up in Joe's front yard LOL

Can we get those for north of Howard also?

Pick any street or corner.

7600 block of N Paulina, Paulina & Howard, Howard & Marshfield, Howard & Bosworth, Howard & Greenview, Marshfield and Jonquil Terrace, Jonquil Terrace & Bosworth.

These guys just move from corner to corner as the police drive by. If you don't have time to get out of the car, most of the time they will come to you.

As of 7:00...it is back up...laminated too! GO DRD!

DRD said...

The people who took it down, missed the message, once explained, they put it back up. :)

i love it...

it lets the dealers know they are being watched...

and lets the powers-that-be know we're fed up.

yes to the liquid nails!

Not only are they being watched, they're being filmed.

Glad it went back up - I see so many undercover cops around - why are the druggies not arrested? Taking pics and filming is a really good idea -

What's the possibility that the low-level drug-dealing activity is tolerated by law enforcement in an effort to build a larger case against a criminal drug organization / gang?? Or is this just wishful thinking on my part and the cops just don't care?? Anyone in law enforcement willing to enlighten us??

DRD said...

Well, it disappeared during the nite. It was quite funny to watch.. People would pull up and plan on parking there, then their headlights would hit the sign. And they would park somewhere else. lol Somebody snagged it and parked there.. So, there will be one more put up this evening...Any chance One of hte local news channels could get this. Total slam on the 49th's office and the 24th? Let me know. Thanks

I drove by this morning on my way to drop off at school. The sign was gone and a car was parked there. I wish I knew somebody in media because this is too good to pass up. Anybody know anyone?

One of the smartest/more clever moves I've seen in a long time. Throw it right in the alderman's face. Smart move.

I plan on checking it out again on my way home today.

DRD said...

Well, there are two of them out there now.. Don't know who is doing it.. But someone needs to come by with liquid nails and glue the other one down. Anyone?????/

DRD said...

People are so stupid, they see the sign and think it's an invitation for drug dealers, had 2 try and tear it down(obviously they did not go through the adult literacy program) lol And the Aldermans office wants to know "where it is" lol

DRD said...

DAMN, THE COPS CAN'T STAND THE TRUTH, SO, THEY CAME, AND THEY STOLE CITY PROPERTY.. SO, CAN ANYONE COME UP WITH SOME ORANGE/WHITE FLAT CONE LIKE SIGN THINGS? IF SO, DROP EM OFF AT THE CORNER OF N. HAMILTON AND CHASE, AND THEY WILL HAVE A SIGN PLACED ON THEM.. LOL

DRD said...

OH WELL, CPD OBVIOUSLY WAS OFFENDED, BOTH SIGNS ARE GONE. THEY HAD AN UMARAKED AND A REGULAR CRUISER HERE TO REMOVE THEM. DAMN, WOULD CERTAINLY BE NICE IF THEY WOULD SHOW THIS MUCH INTEREST WHEN A "DEAL WAS GOING DOWN" GUESS THEY WILL HAVE TO COME BACK TOMORROW TO REMOVE THE ONE I WILL BE PUTTING UP. WON'T TELL, DON'T TELL. LOL

DRD said...

Well, we are certainly getting some attention over here. One unmarked, one regular cruiser, and now we have no signs. Wish they would come when we had drug deals going down. I guess the truth scares them. God forbid we had someone parked improperly or without a city sticker. Then they are Johnny on the spot...

DRD said...

wow, an unmarked and a cruiser.. they took them down quick.. wish they woudl do that with the dealers.....

Razldazlrr said...

keep putting them up - great idea! We need attention put to this stuff - I definitely think getting it up and calling the media is a great idea - Joe can tell everyone there is no crime or drug dealers up here! LOL

rogerspark60645 said...

This is hilarious. I saw the cones again this morning from afar but they were lying down on the street. Are they going back up again today? Many in WRP are talking about this.

It's the corner where Craig Gernhardt - owner of Gay Chicago Magazine/supporter of MAle Prostitution and I Tom Mannis - lying urinalist go to buy our drugs!
