I talked to "Southeast: A City Within a City" director, Steven J. Walsh about his upbringing in the community as well as @FOTPChicago about the environmental destruction of the neighborhoods nearby for my latest @Chicago_Reader article. chicagoreader.com/chicago/southe…

The head of @FOTPChicago said a proposal to give Chicago alderpersons more say in contracting for big events, such as NASCAR and Lollapalooza, is very timely. @CraigDellimore has the story: audacy.com/wbbm780/news/l…
