The Road From Midway Airport: Potholes on Cicero

It's a scandal that the City of Chicago let a major expressway/street interchange deteriorate to this condition, especially one that is traveled by visitors to Chicago every day.

Out-of-towners who fly into Midway must think we've lost our minds. And if anybody on the Olympic committee flies into this airport, rents a car and drives up Cicero to I-55 to go downtown, Chicago can forget about the 2016 Olympics.

I'll bet the owner of that red Firebird is sorry he bought those 22's;-)

@nicknmartin No, but I do own a pair of white bucks. And like Bueller's sister in the movie, I own a Fiero;)

Cicero is famous for having no negroes.

@Cakerolled At one time, that was true. The 1980 census counted 72 blacks in Cicero out of a population of 61,000. 59 of them were Sportsman's Park employees and their families living at the track; the other 13 were residents in a nursing home. It's gotten better since then. The 2000 census counted 1,002 out of a population of 85,000.
