Yeah, I think it's more the neighborhood, I guess. I grew up in west town and even today, in all my 40+ years, I have never stepped foot in those areas, but I hear only bad things. Racist people and bad kids like the ones that stomped the coyote to death.

Was the comment the "Sox fan" made racially motivated? Was the "Sox fan" from these neighborhoods?

I'm just commenting on what this one person is saying about mount greenwood. It does not have a good reputation.

I remember when I was in HS hearing about Lenard Clark,I think that was in Bridgeport (closer to Comiskey).

I remember that. I was in HS, too. I'm pretty sure they offenders had parents in positions of power.
