Another Way to Get Ripped Off at Wrigley

As we've documented many times, the Tribune often associates U.S. Cellular Field with crime, even though far more serious crimes occur at or near Tribune-owned Wrigley Field. The proof of their deceit is out now in the Tribune's own "Burglary Map" published this week in Redeye (click on the image for a larger view). The Armour Square neighborhood around U.S. Cellular Field falls into the map's most crime-free category, with less than 100 burglaries per year. Nearby Bridgeport falls into the second-most crime-free category, with less than 400. But Lakeview, home of The Shrine, stands out on the map in bright red with between 700 and 1,000 burglaries per year. Of course, the Tribune doesn't mention the ballparks in this report. That would be bad for business.
