Damaged Car On Ridgeway

Good morning, everyone, it's 5:04am. It's nice out right now. No clouds in the sky and it's in the low 60s. Today will be sunny and it will approach 80 degrees. Anyway, I'm heading to school this morning for the last day of the regular school year. The school bus isn't picking me up this morning, so I must get on the CTA to school. Then, after school, which is done by 9am, I'm heading Downtown for about an hour or two to enjoy my day, and then I'll be back here. Just so all of you are advised, I probably won't be back until around noon, but I will have my headset plugged up to record the scanner while I'm gone. Also, regarding the last day of school, don't be surprised if there's calls here for fights and what not at the schools. Kids like to kick things off on the last day, usually. Lastly, tomorrow, I have a block club training session in 25 to attend at 10am. With that said, here's crime for today.

Might you cover the fest this weekend in the park. 14 will be quite active. Also a gang funeral over there this weekend. Watch out.

Any idea when the fest starts, and where is this gang funeral at?

Festival started Tuesday and it finishes Sunday , the parade is on Saturday at downtown then makes it way down Division street. And just my opinion I don't think the address of the funeral shouldnt be posted. It's a funeral and they are very disrespectful people out there I wouldn't want to juice it up more just in case a rival gangmember finds out the address . Too many people are getting shot as it is and we don't need to hear about another innocent bystander getting shot even if is a gang funeral because there are innocent people that go as well as family members who are not involved with a gang. Just sayin....

I'm not sure if I'll be monitoring the festival in 14 tomorrow. I kind of don't want to, because I haven't heard of any problems this week so far from theses festivities. Is there any particular reason I should monitor it tomorrow, or should I do it just because it's a Saturday? I'm not trying to be sarcastic, I'm just asking. Also, about the address, while you're saying all of that, you could just e-mail me the address at weatherboy58@hotmail.com. If you e-mail to me, I won't post it up here unless there's a call to the police during the funeral. I'd just like to have it for reference.

Also, around what time will the parade reach Division tomorrow?

Why did they cancel the great Irish St. Patricks parade on South Side yet allow the PR Festival to continue? There are LOTS of gang problems at this festival.

Check out the second city cop blog. It has all the info you need. Sounds like some people want to give these shitheads privacy.

Every year this Puerto Rican fest gets wild, why keep having it then? Or cut it down to just 3 days instead of a week? Or why allow all these other independence day celebrations to begin with? Only the 4th of July should be allowed. This ain't Mexico or Puerto Rico.
