Graham Crackers Chicago Loop store looted, many books taken 1 1

As a general trend, people aren't leaving cities. 

Urbanization is increasing and expected to reach 60% in the next 30yrs or so. The amount of megacities is also increasing (cities over 10m). 

In the US, rural populations declined for the 2010 census and are expected to decline again in 2020.

People must really like each other to built their houses so close together.  Where I live, we build our houses at least a few hundred yds from each other.   We often give up our right of way on the road, to let someone else go, and all summer I have not heard 1 person honk a horn at someone taking too long to go at a stop light, or for getting cut off.  Yet, when I visit a city, I see people honking and hollering at each other all the time.  I guess I just don't get city living.

Why didnt the police stop it?

it sounds strange. They walk in and take what they want?

Because of big-city thinking.

Cubs fans are the worst and Old Style beer is swill.  

Have any serial numbers of the slabs been released so we can keep an eye out?

“Looting” - im not even sure that we have a word for this in my own language. Guess its an unknown phenomenon here, that people storm into a store and just take what they want and then leave.

this quote is on the OPs signature and it's a good reminder of the town I live in

 

"I'd like to thank Chicago for single-handedly keeping the following American big-city traditions alive: smoking, drinking during the day, eating terrible food, congeniality and breasts. It's noble work you're doing, Chicago. We're all proud of you."
