I've always known there were shitty areas of Chicago that you didn't go to. But now people are telling me downtown is also a no go. (like the touristy areas) Seen a few shootings the last few days. Is this normal everywhere now?

It's fine outside of certain hoods. Obv you're going ro have random shootings in nice areas. That hasn't ever not happened.

As a frequent visitor to Chicago I can tell you that it has definitely changed. The police presence on Michigan Avenue and the environs is more than obvious. But I do know people who live in what are considered "good" neighborhoods who have had the occasional random event. However, they are less random but still very far from common. If Chicago manages to fuck up tourism it will be come a really ugly place to visit much less live.

  1. Atlanta United FC
  1. Los Angeles Lakers
  2. Orlando Magic
  3. Phoenix Suns
  4. Sacramento Kings
  1. Columbus Blue Jackets
Politicians ignoring crime and holding police feet to fire for everything. The city is a shithole of crime and physical disrepair. Ride the L or train thru Chicago and see all the houses and roof and streets fucked up. Schools blow small dogs

I grew up on the NW side and would run free all day till 10pm. If I lived there now I wouldnt let my kid outside without a bodyguard

I cant read your response but:

-When I was in college I worked for 4 years at Good Humor at Cicero and Arthington on the west side. 80% of employees carried deadly weapons and I whitnessed a shootout in the parking lot. Lots of hookers on street and an occasional dead person lying on the curb when we opened. Beef place called Carms that had bulletproof glass and metal bars. Only 10% of employees at Good Humor were white. I also worked at UPS on south side of Chicago night shift again only 10 percent of employees were white. For 6 months I delivered lost luggage on the near west side from 9pm to 2am worst neighborhood in Chicago

So, fuckly I know and have worked with more minorities that your lake shore lily white ass

Nothing you write is believable. You're an idiot liar, and the dumbest poster on these boards. No debate on that.

Shootings happen anywhere there are assholes i guess.

My oldest brother is a lifelong Chicago resident. I lived near him for a couple years when I was young and visit him frequently.

I can honestly say that I have never once seen random violence occur, nor have I ever felt in danger.

From my experience over the years, do what you do, and don't worry about it.
Every time I have seen fights or whatnot they all start exactly like they do in the burbs or the boonies.
Couple of assholes being assholes and escalating shit.

I imagine if you were drunk out of your mind waiting at an l stop you might have to worry about getting rolled, but otherwise I don't see the city as any more or less dangerous than the burbs for an average and mildly intelligent person.

Then why is the mayor setting a curfew for youth and why are people I know comparing it to Detroit?

Yeah, that's what I say about your paycheck to paycheck life
Almost two thirds of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. I thought mocking the working class was a Democrat thing these days?
