Chicago, Illinois - Not Your Mama's Bus Tour StreetWise (Chicago's homeless newspaper) sponsors a tour of Chicago that is based on true stories by former homeless people (women, men and youth). They go to several stops, including-the site of the 1968 Democratic Convention Riots (where hippies and student protestors chanted,"The whole world is watching!" and where at least one person was killed), Cabrini Green (one of Chicago's most notorius housing projects and the site of TV's
Good Times), Malcolm X College, Chicago's Civic Center and the spot where a homeless SteetWise vendor was was shot to death by an off-duty police officer. The tour goes past some of Chicago's most famous off the beaten track spots like Cook County Hospital (think
E.R.and
Chicago Hope) and through the south, west and north loop areas and downtown.
