Thinking of Shopping in Chiraq?

McCain, not the dead politician, quotes Jazz Shaw on the reality of Chicago.

...Chicago is well known for the “Magnificent Mile,” a formerly prosperous and productive retail district filled with high-end shops and fine dining establishments. Now it looks like a war zone. For the past year or more, it’s been the site of robberies, assaults, smash-and-grab heists, and even murders. Business owners have been fleeing the area. . . .

Oh, it gets worse.  Here McCain shows you the numberzzzzz

...When Jazz Shaw refers to the city’s “carjacking epidemic,” it’s no exaggeration. As recently as 2014, Chicago had barely 300 carjackings a year. Last year, there were more than 1,600 carjackings in Chicago, to go along with 737 murders and 2,937 people wounded from gunfire....

So yah, you can still get a stylish purse or watch on the MagMile.

Too bad about your car, though.
