    Think the location on 109th is a negro nest.

    Never resolved the parking problem with County Fair, and yeah, he like serving pizza in that restaurant to large groups that frequently requested separate checks who more frequently never left tips for the wait staff.

    Beverly looks like Englewood.

      No Englewood demographics are the bottom and Beverly is near the top. Massive numbers of "missing" homes that were once on city lots in Englewood. Many huge homes and well cared for homes and lots in Beverly. People walk the streets at night and play outside in Beverly without gun shots and endless drug deals on every corner. Cant say the same in Englewood....Englewood has huge crime rates and terrible schools. Beverly has much much lower crime, very little violent crime and good to very good local schools. Education levels in Beverly are way above Chicago and county averages...and you guessed it...Englewood near the bottom....so really Beverly is almost nothing like Englewood. Except if you are judging based on the racial make up of the two neighborhoods. And even there you would be dead wrong. Englewood is 95% African American....while Beverly is about 30% or so...much more diverse. So basically you are just an idiot who probably moved out of the neighborhood 40 years ago when the first blacks began to integrate...and you have been telling yourself and others that Beverly is "changing". Wrong again. I suggest you put down the beer, turn off the computer and put some pants on and leave your Mom's basement and go look for a job.

      I agree. It is unnecessary. I love how the liberals in Beverly like to virtue signal how much they like and welcome all people. But they don't seem to want to sit down in a restaurant that is majority minority. Then they will look down their noses at Mt Greenwood people as being lower. (I live in Beverly btw)

      I missed the virtue signaling part. I have sat down for pizza at the Home Run inn at 109th. The night my wife and i were there, there were customers there who were a little over the top in their conversations volume wise, but you get that in a lot of places. I can't disagree with the separate checks statement though. That sort of shit make a waitress' tough job a bit tougher.

      I own a business and I'm so sick of these goddamn unions looking for handouts. The virtue signaling is out of control. I'm sick of virtue signalers telling me how to live my life. Make America Great Again!
