Shooting on Diversey and Lawndale Sunday (Update on 1-13-09)
I recieved an email from a concerned citizen this morning regarding a shooting at Diversey and Lawndale on Sunday at 7:15am in the morning. The citizen tells me he heard four real loud gunshots. After the gunshots, according to the citizen, people started coming outside to see what just happened. They, and the citizen who emailed me, found a man shot on the corner of Diversey and Lawndale, in the middle of the street. Gun shells were found right next to the man's body, leading the citizen and probably others to believe that someone tried to kill this man, plain and simple. It is not known if the man shot remained alive or died. I personally hope that the man is still alive. The police showed up on the scene about 3 minutes after the shots fired, from what I've been told.
I pose this question to all of you out there. What the hell is going on around here? Anybody have information? Better yet, does anybody know why the gangs around here keep going at it? I'm getting real sick and tired of the gangs fighting each other, OVER STUPID STUFF. Every day. It's the same nonsense over and over again. Last night, I wrote to you all about Diversey not being safe, and I think that's more true each and everyday. This email I got really proves that.
They fight on George. They fight on Lawndale. They throw beer bottles on Diversey. They throw up gang signs on Monticello. They shoot at each other on Ridgeway. Why? Is it because of a grudge? Someone messed with a gang member's woman/man? Being in a different gang? I don't know the answers, but I would like to know some, from our alderman (who is Ariel Reboyas) and maybe even our beat cops. They might know.
I think it is really time for the police to do foot patrols in this area. It's not helping just circling around in a squad car all day. The police need to walk the beat. Walk Monticello. Walk Lawndale. Walk Diversey. Walk Barry. Walk Springfield. Walk George. These streets really need the foot patrol. It's either that, or increase your presence, please. This nonsense is getting on the residents' last nerves. We should be able to walk Diversey without being shot, mugged or beaten.
Things were getting better around here for a time, but now things are starting to deteriorate again. I've lived here all of my life so far and I've never seen things this bad.
Update, 1/13/09: It appears that an RD was pulled on this shooting. It's HP754019. Time of occurrence is 07:18 hours. No arrests have been made. It was not domestic related. It occurred on the street. The block used was 2700 N Lawndale. The UCR code used was 041Adam. The crime is "Aggravated Battery: Handgun". So it does look like the man lived through this shooting.

Diversey Avenue Is Not Safe
If you think Diversey Avenue is safe, think again. I had to go with my mom around 4:45pm this evening to go find my sister since she wasn't answering her cell phone while at her friend's house near Diversey and Drake. While we were heading there, many chaotic stuff was taking place on the street. First, there were gang members just generally on the street (not that I have a problem with that, if they're not bothering anyone or anything). They were being loud and ... just loud. But then two of them caught my attention when they jumped out at me and my mom. One was running down the street while another one was chasing the first one. My mom got frightened because she wasn't excepting that to happen. We continued to walk to my sister's friend house without any other incidents occurring.
As we were coming back, however, we saw tons of broken glass in front of the store we go to near Diversey and Lawndale. It wasn't there (or at least I didn't see it) when were heading to our destination, so there may have been a fight while we were at our destination. The glass on the ground could've hurt someone. I'm surprised nobody was injuried by this.
As we got back into my house, a gang fight was starting in the alley. Lots of yelling and screaming could be heard in the alley and there were people running into the alley.
So, there you have it, Diversey Avenue is NOT safe, at night anyway. Too many people are outside causing trouble. I really wish the police would do something about this stuff. They know what blocks are problem blocks around here. Especially the 2700 block of N Monticello, 2900 block of N Ridgeway and 3900 block of W Barry.
I advise everyone to be very alert and be careful when you're walking down Diversey at night. Something could always happen. If you have any (more) questions about the incidents, how to be safe, etc., please email me. I will be more than happy to respond.
Thank you for your time,

Update:
P.S. If anyone's interested, I have added a pic of the flyers I'm going to be putting up around the neighborhood advertising this site. I also added a pic of the sunset from a couple of nights ago for anyone interested at all. Yeah, on the crime flyer pic, I forgot to add www.avondalelogansquare crime.blogspot.com, LOL.

Good (early, again) morning, it's 12:30am. There was tons of shooting around 8pm last night in the neighborhood, especially on the 2900 block of N Ridgeway. I live one block south of there, so the shootings hit kind of close to home. 2590 even said at one point to have a gang and tac team to circle the area because of the nonsense.

Christmas wasn't too exciting this year (as in getting presents, Christmas spirit, etc.) because of the economy, but the scanner was exciting to listen to last night, especially on the west side. Multiple melees broke out around 9:30pm. First there was one near Lockwood and whatever street at about 400N, then there was one at 1035 N Mayfield. Family fights caused the melees because they spilled into the street.

My observations on school
This week has had it's ups and downs.
December 16: On Tuesday, some stuff was happening. Arguments were flaring up all this morning and some people seemed angry. I even heard at one point about a big fight happening later in the day. That turned out to be true, I guess, because there's word that a big fight broke out shortly after noon today. Around 1pm today, I saw that ALL the lockers on the 3rd floor vandalized. They had some sort of purple line of them. Other then that stuff, school was good. We had a Christmas party in my homeroom and I enjoyed it (but it was kind of weird that it was today instead of Friday).
December 17: On Wednesday, it was very insane. From almost the minute I arrived to the minute I left, arguments were ensuing. The biggest argument broke out around 8:45am. Two boys got into a loud argument about some kid who was beat up the day before. One of them was basically screaming he couldn't trust anybody. Everybody was watching. One other kid started talking about another fight that was to happen sometime in the day regarding the situation. I don't know much about the details of it, though. After that, other arguments were breaking here and there. I wouldn't be surprised if small fights broke out from those arguments. In my classroom, there were two birthdays. One for a student and another for a teacher. The party is on Friday, I heard.
December 18: On Thursday, we had a field trip. We went to the Freedom Museum on Michigan near Wacker Drive. It was a nice field trip. We learned about freedom and even got to make our own bill of rights. After we toured the museum, we hopped back on the train to Morse and then we got off there and walked to the McDonald's at Pratt and Clark, where we ate. After that, we went back to school. I'm not too sure if I'll be able to make it school tomorrow on Friday because of the huge snow amounts and ice forecasted, but I will try my very best to head to school.
December 19: On Friday, it was a pretty out of the ordinary day. First, I didn't arrive to school until about 9:10am, because of a very late bus that didn't come for me until like 7:55 or 8:00. Second, things were so calm during school, you'd think you were at another school. I liked the calmness we had. Third, so many people were absent it wasn't funny. In my class, there were only 12 of us, out of the usual 22. In my 3rd period class (Computers), I only counted nine other people in class with me. Finally, everyone was wishing each other a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, so that was nice to see. I wished some people those two things as well. In my class, other then a few worksheets, we basically did nothing besides party and watch a movie, so that was also nice. Well, to my friends and teachers who read this at Sullivan, I wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! But for those who I don't know, well ... I'll see you January 5, 2009.
- Happy Holidays to all,

P.S. My next article on school will be on January 6, 2009.

Man killed in Logan Square
Good morning everyone, it's 9:28am. A man was killed sometime before 1:00am on the 1800 block of North Pulaski. There's few details, but it was a shooting. Here's the article about it.
Man killed in Logan Square
A shooting in the 1800 block of North Pulaski Road in Logan Square left a 29-year-old man dead early this morning, according to the Cook County medical examiner's office.
Jose Gonzalez, of the 3600 block of West Sunnyside Avenue in Albany Park, was taken to Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead at 1:20 a.m. today, the medical examiner's office said.
Police weren't able to provide additional details Saturday morning but said the shooting was under investigation.
I think this is just sad how yet another shooting has happened in the neighborhood. I wonder if this shooting had anything to do with gangs? It probably did. Well, I'll get more details on it as soon as they become available.

Final day of school and a huge snowstorm
Good morning everyone. This (early) morning, a huge snowstorm has hit the Chicago area hard. At least 8 inches has fallen here in the most southern part of Avondale, where I live. Other areas around O'Hare got about 9 inches. Chicago in general has picked up about 6 to 9 inches of snow so far. Another 1 to 3 inches are excepted today. Outside my window, some sleet is falling. There is some reports of ice causing spin outs on the roads and stuff like that.
I plan to go to school today because of none other than ... THE LAST DAY OF SCHOOL FOR 2 WEEKS! Thank god! It's great that we'll be off for 2 weeks and I'll be away from Sullivan "Fight" School, but I probably will miss my friends at school. I have some very nice friends there.
Anyway, here's crime for this morning before I head off to school.
Update at 9:59am - I finally made it to school after two hours of waiting for my school bus to come pick me up. I guess they were delayed from all the snow and the fact of a substitute driver for this morning. It was very chaotic, lol. Well, I'll see you all later when I return home.
