Post-Blackhawk's Game Issues @ North Ave./Damen/Milwaukee Ave., Big Accident @ Western/North Ave.

Good morning, everyone, it's 12am. It most likely looks like I'm going to monitor 14 today, as I only have heard back from one person on what should be monitored today. But it's not too late for you guys to give me your opinions. You have until 5am this morning to get back to me either here, the Facebook page, or on my crime blog e-mail address. Any feedback received after 5am will be considered for Thursday's open monitoring day that I'm going to do. I really hope to hear from as many people as possible. Also, I have a poll on the right of this page that I need as many of you as possible to participate in. As promised in March, I'm doing another readership analysis, as I want to see what areas need more monitoring. This poll closes on July 2nd, so be sure to participate before then. Thank you, and with that, here's crime for today.

12:02am - Per Beat 1400XRay, all Afternoons late cars are to remain at their posts until further notice over at North Ave./Damen/Milwaukee Ave. Presently, only about two or three cars in 14 are NOT at this detail. All other units are.

Well at least in the poor sections of Chicago it will be quiet. They don't follow hockey.

That is a really ignorant comment Shane... anyway, would really appreciate more monitoring of 25... As a long time reader, I miss reading about the actual neighborhood that you and I both live in.

I agree with Anonymous 7:55a- We all want more monitoring of 25 on this blog. Home Sweet Home.

I agree anonymous 7:55, that was in fact an ignorant comment of Shane to make. And, personally, I want to monitor 25 on a regular basis again, but I also have to meet readership demands and it seems to me most people want to hear 14, or at least how it was for a while.

Anonymous 10:03, I'd just like to know who "we all" are? I'm not trying to sound sarcastic whatsoever, I just haven't had any kind of feedback from readers lately whatsoever so to be honest, I'm not sure what anyone wants anymore.

To everyone: I will be making a post within the next couple of days, addressing some things pertaining to this blog. Honestly, I'm a bit concerned and disappointed to see readership dropping so sharply. When I do make the post, I really would like for as many people as possible to read and give some kind of feedback.

I live in 14 and appreciate the coverage. I have friends in 25 who follow you as well. We have discussed in the past how helpful and informative your blog is. Thank you and keep up the good work!

FYI, the Blackhawks parade is estimated to be much bigger than last time. That one was in the millions. Mary LaNette, it time to come check it out and P-A-R-T-Y like it's 1999 baby.

no, it was an accurate comment, based firmly in reality.

the only reason any west or south siders were present in Wrigleyville during the game and celebrations afterward, was the same reason they're ever in Wrigleyville, to mug yuppies.

Its terrible, they're going to take away our garden at Monticello and Milwaukee. Its been fenced off. It was bad enough when the homeless were there to steal our vegetables. But down the city is taking it away. Just to build another school? I thought the city was closing down schools?
