mgb1111 - I did not know the Emmanuel lived in HP, but my son lived in an apartment literally within view of the Obama “compound”, complete with 24/7 Secret Service SUV.
I loved HP, and still enjoy going back. Like so much of Chicago, it has a lot of things going for it, if it can be kept. In keeping with the spirit of the UChicago board I will borrow a construction used by Ben Franklin on another subject: “It’s a splendid neighborhood, if you can keep it.”
