Gang 'presents'...

by Up2uUp2me

It was good to finally see the huge 'DMS' gang grafitti removed from the wall of a building near 51st and Kolmar...

This info link re: DMS, refers to this gang's 'philosophy'
(originating in NY (as far as Australia!) and now here too in the 23rd ward?--you find t'DMS' along fences, street posts, buildings, along Archer Avenue. (a few interpretations of this acronym, but the more current is: "Drugs, Money, Sex"):

Secondly, for anyone who wants to educate themselves...

Secondly, for anyone who wants to educate themselves about the number of gangs in Chicago, who they are (down to photos, gang symbols, police district maps of where they are) you can take borrow the book through your local library:

http://www.wgntv.com/news/wgntv-where-the-gangs-are,0,2185751.story

For all those who really want to "get to know your neighbors", start here; because these gangs ARE here (though this book
has data through 2011 [copyright of 2012], I believe the district mapping isn't accurate, because it shows the Archer Heights area as having NO gang presence...Heh! NOT!

They ARE present, if not accounted for....as the still gang grafitti shows, the increasing organized crime shows, the rise of gold stores, tattoo parlors and now, pawn shops, shows-- what next, porn shops?). And if this data WAS accurate at the time, then we've really got to worry because gangs are blooming faster than the Spring flowers! Are gangs fighting for THIS turf or east AH? Are we going to have to see their formal presence on future maps of this area of the 23rd ward?

All the more reason to stay on top of the grafitti removal, keep up the police patrolling (and again, many thanks to the police for doing so!), and getting yourself involved as a community resident in reporting any grafitti, any suspicious activity you see. This can't be stated enough....

IGS People Scam

by Inactive user

There are people going around the neighborhood asking for information about your electric bill, saying they are from ComEd and the need to look at your bill. These guys are just trying to switch you from ComEd to some company called IGS without you knowing it. I just talked to ComEd and they verify that these people do not represent ComEd and do not work for ComEd. Do not give these people any information.

    Wow. I concur with C. Syko, the fact that ComEd allows other suppliers is no proof that IGS is not a scam, does not use underhanded, aggressive, and just plain reprehensible selling tactics. Also, the company well may be legit, but the complaints here are about the sales tactics (if you would've taken the time to actually read past the subject.) Oh, and congrats, anyone now researching IGS (as you suggest they do) will come across this post and see what kind of folks IGS employees really are.

    Again I state the following for your information:

    #1 - I NEVER open my door to anyone that I have not called to come to my home for service or to anyone that I was not expecting.
    My doors (both screen and regular doors) stay locked at all times whether I am in the home or not. (Safety first)

    #2 - I understand that these companies have these sales person(s) out marketing their companies but in this day and age as a concerned, informed citizen it is not safe to allow these people into your home nor to view your bills.

    #3 - Politely inform the person at the door (loudly enough to be heard thru the door) that you are not interested in what they are selling. Then walk away from your door and they will leave your porch and move on.

    #4 - If you really want to lower your utility bills then use the computer you already own or go to the library and log on to:

    http://citizensutilityboard.org/savingmoney.html

    That is the Citizens Utility Board and their website can help you to lower all of your utility bills.

    Stay safe and remember, if you see something or someone suspicious = call 911.

Citywide staff pick

From New Bike Racks - where did they come from?:

"Just curious about the new bike racks you see through Lakeview. They are cool colors and in the shape of a bike. I like them and just wondering if they were purchased by the city or some how locally. Any comments would be helpful?"
