[the urban politician]

Maybe that's why Solis is resigning. Being an Alderman just ain't that "fun" anymore.

Seriously, it's too bad that those developers couldn't grease him up good for that huge development on 18th (a few blocks west of Halsted) that Solis keeps blocking. That giant swath of land badly needs development. And besides, east Pilsen is already well into the gentrification process, lost cause to keep fighting it.
