On Friday September 10, 2010 William Upski Wimsatt made a long awaited appearance for a reading of his third book, "Please Don't Bomb The Suburbs," at the Chicago Urban Art Society. When I walked in there was a group of people sitting in a circle in the middle of a Chicago AD discussion. In attendance were several teachers, some of who were recently unemployed or should we say let go, other professionals, artists, and of course HipHoppas. It seemed like I missed the book reading aspect of this cultural affair. Instead I witnessed a featful attempt to gather the masses to unite for improvement in Chicago After Daley. No Graff War stories for me to hear or share I guess. But Chicago is in the midst of a war one which continues to separate classes dividing the lines of growth amongst it's economy, education, health care reform and its own immigrant borders. So I as a city native and dweller ask myself why shouldn't we "Bomb The Suburbs." I guess I will have to read Upski's latest installment and interview him. Let's see what happens next in our great "Stormy, husky, brawling/City of The Big Shoulders," because I'm tired of the, "Building, breaking, rebuilding," are you?
