My old fellow pawnbroker has started a photography hobby and part of it is taking candids outside the shop. It is a fine display of the people of Olney/Logan. About a third of his Instagram is these street photos

A few of the pictures are NSFW but you can scroll passed them quickly.

Ah yes those are a professional model in a photo class he took.

I found them. Thanks Bruce.

During the looting period, Alan's brother Dan's pawn shop was broken into and entirely looted by a team of 6 looters. The shop was a total loss, including the loss of valuable property for hundreds of people in the ghetto. There is video of the looters as they empty the store for 45 minutes, including at least two clear faces, but none have been caught. Looting is not covered by insurance.

Sounds like they could've used an old school Democrat like Richard Daley.

Chicago, Illinois: Angry Mayor Daley of Chicago announces that his police force is to shoot to kill any arsonists and shoot to maim or cripple looters... if and when there is another riot in his city:



Makes that Republican Trump fellow look like a wimp.

That sucks, T. On many levels

And the whole world was watching. Tens of thousands said so in unison on Chicago's streets.

Which is why what was known then still applies today. You cannot trust anyone over 82.

In Chicago, hundreds of thousands approved of that message. They stayed home and reelected him twice more with landslide victories of 40% and 51% margins respectively.

Get used to it.

Ah, those Black, Living Marxists.

I'm digging his photos. I had looked at them previously, but it's interesting to see them during covid. I find myself looking to see who is wearing a mask.

He captures it and crops it perfectly. Currently 23rd of all time for reddit/r/streetphotography

That right there is why I work with kids.
