Learn Something New Every Day

I am not sure how I feel about this posting, but I feel that this is information that should be known. Do you recognize this guy? He works at Isam's liquor store near the intersection of Pratt and Sheridan. I see him quite a bit (probably too often) and talk to him most times that I go in. I try to not support Isam's because it is overpriced and I would like the area shops to improve, but I pay for the convenience.

I've gotten off the path. This man's name is Brian Vincent, and I learned today that he is a registered sex offender. My neighbor told me about it today, and I had to look it up. IF you google the Illinois sex offender list, you can map your location. I was reasonably shocked to see how many there are in our neighborhood; I was also shocked to bring up a few photos and recognize a number of these people.

This is public information, so I don't feel too guilty posting this. We should all be aware. Truth is, Brian seems like a nice guy and I don't want to do anything to hurt his chances at making a living. But sometimes you just have to know these things.
