19th Ward Chicago: Question

Friday, June 26, 2015

Question

We have a great neighborhood here. A well educated population with some of the highest disposable income in the city, a stable housing stock and a low crime rate.

What is being done to market our demographics to retailers far and wide?

Looks like all the major retailers hit the brakes at Western when they're traveling east-bound on 95th.

The 19th Ward is dead or dying. It will never have the demographics of an Oak Brook or Hinsdale.

In my view there are two reasons....

1. - in looking into our area, businesses look at statistics from zip codes....and our zip code includes some very impoverished neighborhoods and demographic data that suggests there is not enough backing for their store.
2. - OURSELVES........yes us.....WE will not frequent certain places once undesirables start to frequent that business.....THEY are not enough to keep the business afloat and it ultimately fails....How many people who lament the current condition of our local business districts never ever shop there!! There are nice restaurants, and other businesses right within walking distance....Also as our area has a lot of entrepreneurs, why not locate your business office on Western or 95th Street

We have an alderman telling residents not to shop at a new dollar store. Now maybe the owner will market his store to residents of Robbins.

Music, videos and mugshots are for entertainment and disincentive purposes only. Any similarities or resemblances to people or pets, living, dead or imprisoned is just your imagination. Some stories are true, some are fictional while some of the stories are funny.

The theme of this blog has changed. We are now headed into a period of extreme political and economic troubles. We want to increase everyone's awareness and show them how to weather the storm. We are going to begin including articles and videos on prepping (food, water, shelter, medicine, self-defense,) basic economics and general SHTF lifestyle changes.

I am not going to be critical of 19th ward politicians. They tend to do the best job they can with very limited resources, and don't need to be beaten up. In fact, people should be helping them as they are among the last "normal" leaders in Illinois.

I am keeping the 19th Ward Chicago name because of the rich blog history going back to 2010 and because there is a ready-made base of similar-thinking readers. For now on, the 19th Ward of Chicago will be mainly a point of reference, an observation deck if you will. A place where allot of good-natured, normal-thinking people still live and can safely view the dysfunction overtaking America. Write whatever you want about whatever or whomever you want. Just keep it true and not vulgar.

At all times, we am going to comply with Blogspot's community standards. We have seen what happens when there is not such compliance.

We will never publish threats of physical violence or baseless attacks on people or institutions.
