Gentrifying very, very, very, very slowly

A lot of Wikipedia‘s write-ups about Chicago neighborhoods don’t have much more to offer than a good laugh. We’re not much inclined to laugh at illiterate idiocy, so we don’t find Wikipedia’s shortcomings very funny. We offer up, for your mirth or dismay, the following:

Today, Englewood is a vacant town with buildings falling apart and 43% percent of the residents living below the poverty line. Over 700 murders have occurred there in only 10 years. Englewood is slowly gentrifying.

Be careful when using Wikipeda for info about Chicago neighborhoods.
