    The cops did a good job catching the driver but not the shooter, unfortunately. In fact, they did a darn good job with the arrest.

    Don't know about the cops doing a darn good job. We (there were tree of us) saw the shooter and told the cops who sauntered onto the scene, but neither seemed terribly interested, as a matter of fact, they seemed like we were bothering them when we told them that we saw the shooter running down te middle of the street.

    I've noticed a lot more police presence since then. The rumor is that drug dealing is moving in because the area is 'safer' than elsewhere and their customers are scared of placed like Rogers Park.

    Places, not placed….

    It's not a rumor, it's a fact. Thorndale has gone woefully downhill over the past year. It was never good, but it's now the worst I've seen it. Packs of belligerent scumbags doing the requisite antisocial behavior. I've been offered drugs twice in the past month. A few weeks ago, I got off the el and a 12-year-old kid sitting on one of the newspaper boxes outside the station said, "gimme a dollah." I laughed at him.

    Maybe when a student gets killed the powers that be can act all concerned and Arne Duncan can come for a photo-op visit.

    A couple weeks ago, I walked through Lakewood Balmoral on a Saturday afternoon to get my hair cut. On my ten minute walk, I saw three different cop cars patrolling the area. Nice.

    I wonder if the increased police presence in the Lakewood/Balmoral area is warranted. Lately, while passing from Clark to Broadway and vice versa, I've seen young thugs walking around slowly, glaring at you as you pass and that kind of thing.

    When you think about it, it's a great place to rob or roll some unsuspecting people.

    Has anyone gotten any updated information on this?

    And what happened to the comment about a robbery on the el yesterday am? Was that a false rumor?
