Ragged flags on Sheridan Road

Lake Shore Rehabilitation Center, 7200 N. Sheridan Road, at Touhy Avenue

The photo below shows A-One Carpets owner Balvinder Singh with Joe Biden in November of 2008.

Balvinder Singh is apparently a staunch Democrat, as evidenced by the following:

Now, look at 7056 N. Clark Street, here in Rogers Park, in the heart of the 49th Ward's Business District. Why, it's where the Post Office used to be until USPS shut that branch down last year!
