Trice defends Chicago neighborhood mapmaker dumped by CAR, CPS

Dawn Turner Trice laments in a column today that the big, bad Goliath of the Chicago Public School bureaucracy stomped on a poor David in the shape of Chris Devane, creator of a popular map of Chicago neighborhoods. Trice can’t understand why CPS would tell Devane to cease and desist (the reasons CPS gave publicly sound lame). Trice should check out the recent Crain’s story, which presented a pretty good reason CPS might want to distance itself from Big Stick Inc. – allegations of racism and the $6,500 he failed to pay his partner, the Chicago Association of Realtors. If the charge of racism seems overblown (it did to us, at first), a visit to Tally’s Corner might give it some credence.
