@Nemo Well, In Albany Park, it's a shit show. Stabbings, shootings, strong arm robberies, car jacking, assault, etc. etc. Constant.
Well, as someone who lives and works here in Chicago, I would respectfully disagree. It's a shitshow downtown - - crime is rampant and police are not empowered to do anything about it for fear of legal retaliation, et. Just saying.
@thom dress warm. lol. as a Chicagoan, I don't spend much time downtown (it's turned into a cesspool of crime). get out of the downtown area -- early and often. Bucktown, Wicker Park, Logan Square, etc.
Yep, Rosemont is not in Chicago, but near O'Hare, just northwest of the city.
The Loop is downtown. Millennium park is downtown, where the Bean is, etc. Lincoln Park zoo is nearby but not downtown.
Agree, with @ape_arms . Get out of downtown (mainly tourists and professional work places) -- get into a neighborhood. Bucktown/Wicker Park is the SOHO of Chicago. Logan Square is an emerging neighborhood (hipster central).
For music, Metro and Salt Shed
bumsofmanarchy @mastodon.social 3 knuckleheads in Chicago, talking shit. For fun. The “Bums of Manarchy” is a Chicago-based podcast, hosted by 3 friends. Our weekly format is recorded in two parts. The first half content is all about sports, and the second half is for everything else (beer reviews, life hacks, complaints, knowledge drops, geo-political issues, streaming show reviews, etc.). Sports in the front, party in the back. Give us a listen! We take listener requests seriously!
