apparently the pope's mom worked in the library at my daughter's high school.
which is like 1 1/2 hours from dolton.
this is great news for dolton. before today, dolton was known for their maasively corrupt and ridiculously trashy mayor tiffany henyard. now it will be known as the home of the pope!
dolton is a MUCH different place than when he grew up. hardly any catholics anymore. all the old churches and schools of his youth are gone. it was a typical working class immigrant south side suburb. now its 90% black and very poor.
