Alderman resumes campout near open-air drug market after weekend shooting halted his publicity campaign

A South Side alderman temporarily halted his publicity campaign to have the city address an open-air drug market in his ward after a weekend shooting occurred a block from where he was camping out in a vacant lot in West Englewood.

Ald. David Moore, 17th, said he resumed his efforts Monday, one day after the members of his staff packed up their campground that they established Friday in the 1200 block of West 73rd Place to get the city to address an open-air drug market in the area.
