HOMELESS CANDYMAN

Poor, poor Candyman. This sad soul, tortured and murdered by wealthy slave owners just never gets a break. The infamous Chicago high-rises of Cabrini-Green where he used to visit families was finally vacated this week. Come February, the last of the buildings will be demolished.

I am personally appalled by the treatment of one of our nations icons. Candyman will now be forced to float from mirror to mirror in hopes of finding new supporters. Did he get a list of where all the previous Cabrini-Green residents were relocated to? Don't they know he needs their support to continue on his quest? Will the city of Chicago offer him a voucher to relocate to a new housing facility? I think our forefathers crimes of cutting off his hand and then slathering his body in honey so as to be stung to death by bees was enough. When will his suffering end?

Even after all this, I have faith in Candyman's strength of will. He is a proud and tenacious man, focused on his dreams and ambitions. One day he will find a new place to call home but until then, keep believing and frequent those mirrors. Sweets to the sweet Candyman.
