77 | The Number of "Community Areas" in Chicago, Robert Park and Gun Crime

If you took the time to read every post on this blog you would see that much of what I research and write about originates from Chicago; from Playboy, to philosophy, to economics to a whole lot more. In the same way "33 names" are disproportionate in news media, the city of Chicago is disproportionate in the amount of times its name comes up in doing this research. To think, the 44th President, Barack Hussein Obama, of Hawaii, also has strong ties to Chicago. It should be noted that Chicago is located in "Cook" county which ties in with the 44th President.

Cook = 3+6+6+11 = 26
Cook = 3+15+15+11 = 44
Illinois is the 21st State
Illinois = 9+3+3+5+6+9+1 = 36
Chicago = 3+8+9+3+1+7+6 = 37
Chicago, Illinois = 73
Illinois = 9+12+12+9+14+15+9+19 = 99
Chicago = 3+8+9+3+1+7+15 = 46
Hawaii = 8+1+5+1+9+9 = 33
Hawaii = 8+1+23+1+9+9 = 51

Chicago is divided into 77 "community areas" which were drawn in the 1920s by Robert Park at Chicago University (Initially there were only 75 neighborhoods). This number 77 is important to the nation as a whole. For example, the nation's capital is located on the "American Meridian" or the "77th Meridian West". The nation's war department, the Pentagon, is 77-feet tall. On the fateful day of September 11, it was Flight 77 that hit the Pentagon. Years later, it was July 7, 2005 that London would suffer the London Bombings. Those are two notable '77s' in recent history. It should be noted that the Pentagon construction began on September 11, 1941, 60 years before the "event". This was the same day FDR ordered the US Navy to attack Axis Ships in ocean waters.

Robert = 9+6+2+5+9+2 = 33
Park = 7+1+9+2 = 19

Back to Chicago, the most violent area in the entire city, which is the nation's homicide capital, is West 77th Street and South Halsted Street. It makes me wonder, how much of this is engineered? Today it is reported that 82 people were shot in Chicago over the 4th of July weekend, and 14 died. Here is an excerpt from the article that is linked:

Five of the people were shot by police over 36 hours on Friday and Saturday, including two boys 14 and 16 who were killed when they allegedly refused to drop their guns.
Many of the long weekend's shootings were on the South Side, clustered in the Englewood, Roseland, Gresham and West Pullman neighborhoods that rank among the most violent in the city.
The victims ranged from the 14-year-boy shot by police in the Old Irving Park neighborhood to a 66-year-old woman grazed in the head as she walked up the steps of her porch on the Far South Side. Most victims were in their late teens and 20s.
Each night of the long holiday weekend, at least a dozen people were shot in the greatest burst of gun violence Chicago has seen this year.
• From Thursday night into Friday, three people were killed and 10 others wounded. An attack outside a West Englewood salon left two men dead and an East Garfield Park shooting took the life of a 21-year-old woman.
• From Friday afternoon into Saturday, 20 people were shot, one fatally. The man who died had been flashing gang signs in a parking lot in the Clearing neighborhood when someone told him to stop. When the man didn’t, he was shot, police said.
• From Saturday night into Sunday morning, four people were killed and another 10 wounded.
• The bloodiest stretch of the weekend was a 13-hour period between 2:30 p.m. Sunday and 3:30 a.m. Monday when four people were killed and at least another 26 wounded, many of them in critical condition. And the most chaotic scene was in South Chicago, where three people were wounded during a running gun battle.
