Who Wants a Beeper?
On Pershing Road between the Robert Taylor Homes and Stateway Gardens public housing projects, a small billboard offers “Windy City Beepers, cheap, $12 a month.” Owned by United Advertising, the billboard is tacked to the brick wall of a dilapidated shopping center at Pershing Avenue between Federal and State streets. It is one of five billboards advertising beepers that the Reporter found in low-income, black neighborhoods. It’s unlikely that many doctors, business people and lawyers, frequent users of electronic pagers, live in these areas. Drug dealers are more common. “They all have beepers,” said police Sgt. Calvin Giles, referring to the drug sellers he arrests on his patrol at the Taylor Homes and Stateway Gardens. Every night, just across the street from the billboard, a line of cars forms in front of the Stateway building at 3833 S. Federal, he said. Drug sellers run out of the building and toss packets of their products into open car windows, then race back inside. Drug deale
