[PJ] The weather is warming in The Windy City, and that means there will finally be relief from the ravages of winter. Citizens, locked inside during the days of bitter cold and icy winds, have flung open their windows to let the spring air circulate throughout their stuffy apartments.The kids are playing ball in the city’s parks, although far fewer today than half a century ago. The basketball courts are full, as are the soccer fields.
Families are once again walking along the lakeshore, and lovers are walking the Magnificent Mile shopping for their weddings.
And Chicago’s gangsters have come out of hibernation to wreak havoc on the innocents.
