Your story on??rising property values on a block of Chicago's North Wood Street reminded me of my grandfather, a Polish-Lithuanian immigrant who lived on North Wood and kept his money in the walls of his house rather than bank it. If he were alive, I'm sure he would be scolding my Uncle Adam for selling the property for a mere $22,000 a few years back.

"Ten years ago, parents were pushing their cadets to come here," Lieut. General Lennox observes. "Now it's the other way around...
...If there is an issue on??which more voters are in agreement than stopping illegal immigration, what is it? My sympathy is with the people trying to do something.
