Chicago Gay & Lesbian Hall of Fame 2013:

"Shame on me for not even knowing that the Chicago Gay & Lesbian Hall of Fame existed. (It has been around for more than 20 years) I only found out because of a Robert Feder tweet announcing this year's inductees. The list is here, by the way, and includes Cubs co-owner Laura Ricketts and Kukla, Fran & Ollie's Burr Tillstrom.

I knew that Tillstrom was from Chicago, but had no idea he was gay. It's not even mentioned in his wikipedia page, not that it should be. In fact, I'm hoping it's not mentioned because it isn't really relevant to his art, but I suspect that the wiki-author just didn't know. Tillstrom died in 1985, and was popular long before "coming out" was considered socially acceptable..."

We're looking at houses again tomorrow, some of which are in a
municipality that is known worldwide, Ferguson. The Ferguson
cop who killed Michael Brown lived in Crestwood, where Mr. Kuthe
and I grew up. One can get a lot of house for not a lot of money in
Ferguson.

It's not unsafe. I was hesitant about my son buying in North County,
but a big yard and open floorplan is what he wants, and while the
lender considers it investment property, for my son, it's a potential
home.

There's nothing prejudiced about that, you stupid fuckwit. It's
well known that your region has some very high-crime neighborhoods.

Fuck off out of here, pour yourself a scalding hot cup of shut the
fuck up, and keel over dead soon.

[Alex]

That's a good number.  Better than 1/10th of 1% in a savings account!

[Alex]

There are bad neighborhoods everywhere are plenty of them are occupied
by white trash.  Crime statistics don't lie.

[John Kuthe]

I beg to differ. There is no such thing as a bad neighborhood. Only bad people!

John Kuthe, RN, BSN...

[Hank Rogers]

Some hoods are bad simply because they don't have enough money to
keep everyone happy and supplied with plenty of marijuana and meth.

As a cannabis nurse, you should know that.

[Bryan Simmons]

John, it's not about race. I live on a street that was over 50% Black
when I moved in, and is about 50-50 20+ years later. Todat we looked
at 3 houses in Ferguson, and will likely buy one of them. I think that
every American here has heard of Ferguson, and most of the non-USA
folks have as well.

What I wouldn't do is buy a house that needed $125K of roof repair,
putting in more money than the house would sell for today, which is
what you did. The exterior of your house is beautiful, and perhaps
the inside is as well, but what you have into the house, money-wise,
is less than market value.

The house that my son is on the verge of putting an offer on is likely
to increase in value, and it's in a municipality that has businesses,
not one of the tiny cities in North County that's revenues are almost
exclusively from property taxes.

Fuck, John, you know me well enough to know that I'm anything but
racist. I would have preferred that my son buy in University City,
mostly because he'd be closer, on a street with similar racial
demographics to the one in Ferguson, but he wants a large, open
basement, so he can have a billiard table, and it's about him, not me.
He's not racist either. He doesn't want to live in a segregated
neighborhood. I think he's a bit too colorblind to racism, but he's more
conservative that his parents in general. I was too when I was 19.

Of course many have heard of Ferguson. But not many know as much about Ferguson as they should.

I do not think about my house's "resale value" as I will never sell it! I put too much of ME and my money into it but the roof was the last RENOVATION I've done, NOW it's water tight! It was not when I moved in so I facilitated a major substantive renovation! And one that ruined a great many of my albums covers via mold and water seepage as I stupidly put my record rack on the old wet and moldy basement carpet! Luckily I had the wisdom over the years to put most of my LPs in those old plastic lined Recordtown sleeves.

Yup. A managed investment left from when I was working for CSC.
Diversified long term with lower risk values. It held through all the
shenanigans of COVID market variables. It's not terribly big but the
8% was 3,000$ in 2020 that I would not have had.

Best I can tell if you held even in 2020, you are ahead of most. Mine
netted 8% so I'm happy. Heck, I'd have been happy with .80 profit after
that debacle of a year!

I have a few risky ones (none big) and quite a few in CD's (assured
return but interest varies on maturity as it rolls back over and right
now .60 is mostly it) and essential savings enough for a roof job.

I know you don't get rich off CDs but it's a decent starting point and
if you rack them well, you can get good protected income for later. At
need, I can pull 1,000$ a month for about 4 years just from them which
punches me to age 65 and leaves me a 2 year gap to 67 for social
security max. Then theres the other stuff like the one earning 8% and
a risky one that hit 10% (but may wipe itself out any day) and a long
term IRA not earning more than a regular savings account but 24,000$
strong and backed so can't lose it. Oh and TSP not bad but only 20K in
it (running 4%).

I'm no millionaire, but we will be ok. When I hit 62, I am pretty sure
we can swap Don's Social Security to draw as my spouse and he nets 300$
more a month it seems.

I plan a very simple test. I will see what it looks like if I bank my
entire GS paycheck for a month and see what shortfalls are there. My
guess is about 400$ with no changes to current habits. I could well be
wrong though. Worst that happens is 5K more in CDs and some reduction
of the liquid volume just in savings waiting for a roofing job or
something big like that.

I'd never heard of Ferguson but I just googled it.
Another black gets shot by cop story from 6.5 years ago.
Black shootings happen in every city and almost every night. Usually
blacks shooting blacks. It's local news, not national news.

Almost every morning here on local news is another overnight shooting
story nearby. Typical morning "breaking" news. yawn

You are likely correct. After studying it's location on that pitiful
teensy lot I seriously doubt your house will attract many buyers,
Brear Kootchie... not easy to sell a rabbit hole... matters not what
you do to your hovel, it has zero street appeal and privacy.

Prices and rent tend to be lower in base neighbourhoods. It is all the
low life inhabitants can afford.

The homicide rate in the Niagara Region tripled in 2019, from 2 to 6.
Most of them happened within a few blocks of each other and involved a
particular demographic.

There are some high interest savings accounts that pay better than long
term CD's with the ability to withdraw without a penalty at any time.  I
keep some money on hand here:

There might be others with marginally better returns right now (maybe

Once Covid-19 is under control, John may well be able to rent rooms to
foreign students attending UMSL, where I did my junior year of college.
I never finished my BA, and won't, as there's no benefit to doing so. The
thing is, every time he brings in a tenant, he'll have to get an occupancy
permit from the city of Bel Nor. No doubt he will have scored some
points with the city with his pricey roof and gutters. All that said, UMSL
is primarily a commuter college, with few foreign students. His business
plan was flawed from the get go, as UMSL is not Washington University
in St. Louis.

John's house was an unwise purchase from an economic standpoint,
but it is not a "hovel." It is a boutique house. I haven't driven by it, but
I'm sure that it is pretty.

I would not want to live in a mono-color neighborhood either. We
enrich each other here. We *may* look 50% 'white' but that is
subjective as some might be further defined and Hispanic (and ride
either line of white or not). In truth we are probably 35% 'white',
35% 'Black' and 30% 'mixed other from Hispanic to Asian to American
Native'.

We are a melting pot of the upper end of lower income when we bought
and many stayed. Our diversity enriches us.

[Hank Rogers]

Hasn't helped you either ... and you are a cannabis genius.

[Alex]

Great assessment.  I'm not sure I ever typed "hovel" but the interior is
dirty as hell and I doubt the mold remediation was ever completed.

Of course, but he should give credit to his parent(s) who left him that
cash.  His tone is very narcissistic: "I put too much of ME and my money
into it...".  The "ME" part is a joke, we have all seen his lousy
craftsmanship.  The "my money" is true, because it was handed to him,
but he should take that opportunity to give credit to the source - the
guy who worked hard to leave him money to piss away. He is sending the
wrong message but that is his thing...

I am. I did a sort of 'ladder' where now almost all months have 2 CD's
mature (set for 1 year auto renewal with interest deposited and 100$

roll to the next year.

Now I'm filling in at 2 and 3 years out with them as they mature. Of
