Hello, everyone. It's 4:03pm. It's hot outside (it's 83 degrees right now). I've already seen some troublemakers outside, but I've also seen other people trying to beat the heat wave. Anyway, I'll be here until midnight then I'll come back tomorrow evening after my dinner. By the way, there is another blog in Logan Square. It's called "Logan Square Sewer". The author's name is Skurry. You can find that person's profile in my "Follower" section. When it opens up, click on "Logan Square Sewer" and check it out. So far, it looks great!

Love the website and your dedication to providing information. Thanks!
One question: it seems like you go on a lot of field trips. Do you think your school is not giving enough attention to classroom learning?
Also, maybe you could infiltrate the gangs and take pictures and post secrets on the website? Think of how much of an impact that would have!
You're welcome for all of the information. To answer your question, no, I don't feel that way. I think we get enough classroom learning. I certainly do, LOL.
As for the gang thing, hmmm ... sounds like a good idea. How I would get their secrets, though?
An alternative to the infiltration technique: you could just go out onto the street and pose as a "journalist" and interview the gang bangers. After a while you will have built up a good working relationship with them and then all of a sudden BLAM! Karate kick them in their teeth and say NOT IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD, BRO! And then you can take over their territory and start up your own gang that does good deeds, instead of slinging weed.
Unfortunely, I really can't do that because I live with my family and I don't want them getting hurt over anything I've done. And it seems to me in this neighborhood that the hoods don't like getting interview. Hell, they get pissed off if the police are called on them. Sounds like a great idea, though. If I didn't live with my family, I'd be all for this idea.
