I thought a lot (some?) of former project dwellers were being pushed out to the burbs and other states. I also thought more productive citizens were moving back.

I have a friend in FL who's run into kids from Cabrini that were relocated. Not sure what the whole story behind it is but their not in Chicago anymore.

Nah, I have no criminal record. I've never gotten busted for marijuana possession. I haven't smoked pot for at least a year. And it's been years since I've been a regular user. I like being able to pass a drug test and I like having nothing illegal in my car at all times. I don't enjoy being paranoid all the time - In case a Dude from Northern Caligornia like yourself was wondering.

But yeah, I've had a cop's hands up and down my ass and genetalia more times than I can count. For terrible crimes such as driving home from the video rental store or being a whiteboy pulling out of my friend's black neighborhood.

Of course I would expect a cop or cop lover to ASSUME that I have one. Only criminals or drug users have negative feelings about the police, right?
