What is info on the Jakter or Jakster Hotel?
I remember this hotel very well. It was red and black with stairs leading below ground level. I attended a grammar school in that area and students used to make jokes about the place. I know it's quite old and my dad said there is some interesting history connected with this place; he's not quite sure, but he thinks it might have something to do with Thomas Edison or something. I would love to learn about its history; it was always such a mysterious place.
Why do old city neighborhoods get rundown?
The obvious answer is "Because without maintenance and occasional renovation everything old gets rundown." Of course that avoids the issue of why old neighbourhoods tend to enter a phase where everyone stops doing that maintenance and renovation. To a large extent, that's because of real estate depreciation. Even with maintenance, property values tend to steadily go down over time. As the price to live there gets cheaper, more and more people living marginal existences move in and with them come the people who prey upon those people. Those people tend to be less likely to maintain their property so they neglect it and of course that drives real estate values down even further and the more entropy they see around them the more people are inclined to just give up and let it go. This trend tends to continue until something happens like artists making an area hip, or a real estate guy taking advantage of the low property values to do some king of major development that will level most of the neighbourhood and push the marginalised inhabitants into some other neighbourhood on the downward slide, continuing the cycle.
The building was originally called "Laporte Arms Apartments". It was built in the 1920's and may have originally been connected with the building direct to the east on Belle Plaine which has a similar architecture. There used to be evidence (as late as 1989) that the alley behind the building (at one time private) was connected to the east building by a brick archway. The Laporte building was originally one bedroom and two bedroom apartments, today there are a few studio units that were added at a later date. When new, the building featured interior ice delivery doors, later used for milk delivery, and today now sealed. The original kitchens featured a wall hung cast iron sink and some of the units had decorative wood cabinets with glass front doors. All of the apartments featured wall sconces in the living room which were removed in the 1940's. A few were missed and still remained in the late 1980's. The common areas of the building consist of basement storage (4039 Section), Basement storage, boiler room, and workshop (4045 Section) and more basement storage (4051 Section). All three of the sections offered incinerator shoots for garbage disposal that were later converted to garbage chutes. These were closed in the early 1990's for pest control reasons.

Why is a flight from Mexico City to Chicago shorter than a flight from Chicago to Mexico City?
When scheduled flight times are different, it is for two reasons: 1) padded times added by the airline to improve their reported on-time performance, or 2) prevailing windws.
Number 2 is most common for east-west flights, but since the D.F. and Chicago are nearly north and south from each other, it's probably mostly that the time of the flights means the airline pads it differently. Prevailing winds may also play a role, however, since the jet stream does have a northwesterly flow across most fo the eastern half of North America.
