I thought maybe there was a brush fire in the woods near here (just northeast of College of DuPage), or a neighbor’s BBQ gotten out of hand. The smell didn’t make sense for that, but that’s all I could think of. It was like a hazy fog on a sunny, blue sky day. That makes no sense, but that is what it was like.

How sad. COD is on a roll here. First, a bunch of buildings in a tough economy, now they run out the little guy. Nothing against Starbucks, but COD is beginning to have the personality of a strip mall.

I’ve been there several times. I found it a peculiar place, one that seemed embarrassed, or maybe even ashamed to be hosted by a church.

@kimperez Brilliant idea! Orgs like PRC, PADS, World Relief – doing a tremendous job, as are the people and churches throughout DuPage County offering their space, volunteers and funds to help the homeless. However, the job’s not done. What if several orgs combined offices and locations? Then, an economy of scale could result, as well a strong sense of teamwork and solidarity, locking arms when possible?

Excellent piece, @dennissullivan. Great to see our law enforcement people working together to protect our country’s residents. They worked swiftly.
I was involved for many years with street gang outreach in central Illinois. Vice Lords, Latin Kings mostly. Difficult situations: Lots of young teens manipulated by older thugs. Still, no matter how awful their back story is, crime is crime.
As far the derisive, uninformed editorial comment by @barbyr (Sally Ride), try Googling “transnational street gangs” as a contiguous phrase. It is the accurate term.
