“A Hammond man took it upon himself to let the world know that – even though he’s not from Chicago and doesn’t live here – he’s leaving,” Kelly Bauer writes for DNAinfo Chicago.
“And he’s never coming back.
“In a letter to the Tribune, Brandon Vezmar said he was ditching the city where he was not raised and does not live, for good.”
Ha.
“Vezmar wrote he grew up in Hammond – in Indiana, a state where Chicago is not located – but would take the train into the city ‘every chance I could get.'”

Bonus: The DNA story includes a photo of a man who is not Vezmar.
–
Vezmar should start a Chicago Villains Facebook group with the Michaels woman and the Arizona house-flippers.

Also not new.
Carl Bernstein calls Conway a hypocritical “propaganda minister” who repeatedly offers herself as an anonymous source when it suits her.
