Just another day at Subway in Chicago<\/p><\/div>\n

While out on an unrelated assignment, CBS 2 investigative reporter Dave Savini decided to stop by a South Side Subway sandwich shop for a meal.<\/p>\n

Savini was struck by the fact that the counter of the store at 116th Street and South Halsted was encased in bullet-proof glass.<\/p>\n

Such a sight would be common at crime magnets like gas stations or currency exchanges, but a Subway?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

One wonders where these media hamsters have been the past 15 years.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The first restaurant I saw bullet-proofing its employees’ work area was a White Castle on the 1\/9 in Newark (hell yeah, I ordered) back in 2003.<\/p>\n

More amazing, perhaps?\u00a0 The KFC near Abbot Northwestern in south Minneapolis had a completely enclosed bullet-proof counter in 2005.\u00a0<\/p>\n

No wonder the Chicago bloodbath has gotten so little media coverage; not only do the media lick Rahm Emanuel’s shoes clean, but none of them have the foggiest idea what goes on in their city.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
