Pretty bad weekend in Chicago north. One of the dead is a Beck taxi driver.
"Chicago, USA
America's second and Canada's number one city have been friends and rivals for years. The official relationship was forged on July 19, 1991 under, you guessed it, Mayor Art Eggleton. At the signing ceremony, Eggleton said the deal was "the most noteworthy exchange between Chicago and Toronto since George Bell joined the Cubs."
The arrangement was proposed by Chicago mayor Richard Daley because, as he suggested, the two cities are both internationally recognized cultural, commercial, and transportation hubs on the shores of the Great Lakes. In 1991 Globe and Mail columnist Robert MacLeod reported the starkly different crime stats.
That year, the homicide rate in Chicago was 24.8 per 100,000 residents versus 2.7 in Toronto."
