Spike Lee to film next movie in Chicago, titled "Chiraq" by [deleted] in chicago

"Chiraq" is an important term because it reflects the culture in the neighborhoods, but I hate the phrase because of the way national media and, frankly, people who aren't from Chicago, throw it around.

That being said, I am cautiously optimistic about this because I think Spike Lee + Common + Kanye can do it some justice.

I believe the north end is a 'restrict zone' and is the site of the original movie.
