Description

The good sisters have left the property at the old Merryville vacant for five years. It is falling down . They want millions for the property. They are holding the neighborhood hostage. They need to be forced to tear down the building. Why have they not been taken to Housing Court? I have asked the alderman's office repeatedly. No response. I assume it is another Chicago political fix. They pay no taxes and will reap millions when it sells. Yet they have left it to be a crime scene and place for gangs. The West building has just lost two portions of the upper cornice. cornices. The Catholic Church in Chicago should be so proud if it's record of creating ghetto property .while reaping millions tax free.
