I am not sure whose fault this is (police or the reporter) , but there is no W. Kenneth in the city. Kenneth runs north and south.

"...for burglars as they were winterizing and locking up the home in the 5800 block of West Kenneth, the couple claim. "

"...the Coopers were arrested and taken to the 8th Police District precinct, 3420 W. 63rd, and thrown in jail..."

"The breed often is referred to as "site dogs," which means that they have a tendency to fix on a distant object, take off toward it and never come back."

I sure hope not.

But hey, the more I speak with and read pieces written by young people-the more I think it is the norm.

Stupid is the new cool.

"Widow thought home, because it was not old, was safe from radon"

Widow thought home of 18 years was safe from radon :: CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: Metro & Tri-State (http://www.suntimes.com/news/metro/2026243,CST-NWS-radon03.article - broken link)

Should the title not be something like: "Newer construction not immune from Radon contamination" ?

As an all around terrible person, there are a number of phrasings I would consider to be more appropriate.

"Newly single lady seeking man for fun, companionship, alpha track".

"Medium's words to local widow: EDNAAAA, IT'S ASBESTOS AFTER ALL!"
