South Side!

images-1I was born and raised on the South Side of Chicago. I was thoroughly confused by Bill O’Reilly’s recent comparison of the South Side of Chicago to Haiti. I thought he was geographically ignorant, racist and disrespectful.

That was until I remembered living in the neighborhood of Beverly on Chicago’s South Side (median household income $73,104, average home price $299,000).  And I remembered visiting friends who live in the neighborhoods of Hyde Park on Chicago’s South Side (median home price $239,500), South Shore on Chicago’s South Side (median home price $175,406), and Pill Hill on Chicago’s South Side (median home price $$160,183), just blocks away from the South Side of Chicago neighborhood where I grew up.

Then I realized that I had completely misunderstood what O’Reilly was trying to say in his simile.

Haiti has a lot of home owners in comfortable homes.

And Haiti has a huge South Side Irish Parade every year.

You are correct, sir.

On the Road (or Kevin’s triumphant, more consistent return to blogging)

kevindouglasaswhiterabbitthumbnailI am in Kansas City, MO. I am here for a little over a month doing a show. So, I am on the road. Working on the road. I like saying that. In a hotel room. It’s nice. Has a kitchen and cable. I feel like an ACTOR working on the ROAD!! I am doing a lot of writing. Okay, today I started doing a lot of writing. In Kansas City, MO. Okay, I am bored out of my mind I gotta get out of this hotel room.
