He is an interesting character. And I find his mannerisms & overall disposition to be peculiar. He also has a very snide sense of humour that I gravitate towards. None of this changes the fact that he's a very creepy fellow with endless ulterior motives, as well as a propensity for bending truth & baiting people.

Regarding suburbs like bridgeview, corporate franchises a la MacDonalds, obviously not. Private businesses & production plants, you'd be surprised. It doesn't take much to strong arm an entire suburb, unfortunately. It's actually pretty sickening & corrosive.
