Evidently, it's another slow news day - aside from the warm weather, multiple shootings, a school stabbing, and someone shooting at the police:
- For rent: Large office space available complete with “cheesy 1960’s-style neckties, old sport jackets and rusty file cabinets.”
The ad, posted on Craigslist, apparently is poking fun at the recent closure of the Harrison Area Detective Division, police said. That station, at Harrison Street and Kedzie Avenue, was one of two detective bureaus that were shuttered Sunday as part of Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s cost-cutting plans to ease a $636 million budget gap.
"The Area 4 Detective Division has been evicted due to a haphazzard re-structuring plan. ... If interested call Gary @ 312-746-6000."
The advertisement appears to say the 50,000-square-foot space is available for $50.
We guess this is easier to cover than to actually ask Rahm and Garry about manpower shortages, lack of training, non-existent equipment and other things that might require actual effort to follow up on.
