Retails sales dropped 50% overnight following a robbery and shooting in the parking lot of Orland Square Mall in Orland Park

 News spread quickly of an elderly white woman being robbed and shot by a black female in the parking lot of the mall late last night. The crime appears to have taken a substantial toll on the cash receipts for the mall today with an estimated 50%+ overnight decline.
 Orland Park and Tinley Park have experienced a large spike in violent crime since many residents of the Chicago CHA Projects were re-located to this area after former Chicago Mayor Richard M Daley demolished the project residences that his father, former Mayor Richard J Daley, had built in the 1960's.

A 29-year-old man was shot dead during a late-night fight in the Altgeld Gardens projects on the city's Far South Side after insulting the gunman's mother,.

The unidentified victim was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, where he was pronounced dead a short time later.

Changing Chatham: Neighborhood struggles with class divide (Just say thanks 2 Section 8)

It used to be that, to live in Chatham, you practically had to know someone. As a mother with no husband — despite having a 9-to-5 — my chances of finding a landlord who’d rent me an apartment in one of Chatham’s immaculate three-flats were slim.
