That's a tough neighborhood... I was there on business once and saw some strange objects on poles on the sidewalks. I asked what they were and was told they were cameras the would swing to the sound of gun shots!


Whoa!!!!

Unfortunately that's just within the city limits and doesn't include any "activity" in suburban areas.

Anyone know the safest driving route from the south suburbs to the Museum of Science and Industry?

(might be to drive to near the Loop and get on the Stevenson Expressway Eastbound and then backtrack on Lake Shore Drive?)

When I was a kid on da south side we would ride our bikes up Stoney Island without any problems. I'm sure that way now would be asking for trouble.

You could take I-57 up to the Dan Ryan and then south on Lake Shore Drive and be OK. My wife and I drove that route to U.S. Cellular Field this morning to pick up Sox tickets for our grandson and me for Friday's game. The problems seem to be in certain neighborhoods vs. out on the heavily traveled expressways.

You could still ride your bike up Stoney Island but you'd have to pedal REAL REAL fast and do it during the day.

My wifes cousin taught/ teaches in Detroit too.
She asked her what she does with the "serious" students and she said we call the police.
We laughed because my wife meant the serious academic students.

Flint- nuff said!

I'd feel safer walking around downtown at night than in Detroit, Flint and Highland Park (MI).

Leaving Orlando but love the town.

I just saw a report on the news about 2 possibly unrelated shootings in Seattle. The report said last year the city had 20 homicides and to date in 2012 they've reported 19. No city is immune to this unfortunate situation.

For those of you (or your family and friends) planning a summer trip to Chicago, the "tourist" areas of Chicago are safe. Just keep an eye on your purse, wallet and valuables as you would in any large area. The Chicago area needs tourist dollars! Only 8 more days and I will be in TV for a visit!

And that's a place where private ownership of firearms is almost impossible to obtain. Wonder who is shooting who and where are all the firearms coming from?

I heard a rumor over at Katie Belles that the NRA is supplying the drug dealers and the pimps.

JUST KIDDING.

I couldn't let that go by, Fig!

I also met several Republicans here that don't have guns or want them.

OH boy.

Now I've done it.

Now, Now, GG, you all know that the NRA is a liberal organization. That is why I belong to it. Remember, "Train with the Best, To Be The Best."
