Save A Lot locations under the ownership of a company called Yellow Banana have opened on the South Side and the West Side. Save A Lot locations have closed unexpectedly, and Yellow Banana owners have acknowledged poor store conditions and expired foods. A location closed briefly in 2022 due to a rat infestation.

Not a day goes by I don't appreciate being walking distance from a Pete's.

Lack of police, lack of community combined with despair and no social programs isnt a good recipe.

CPD's annual budget is $1.94 billion. There is absolutely not a 'lack of police' in the city.
