Pardon my curiosity but I have to ask - what is it like living that close to a war zone (south side). I see crime is spreading into the nicer neighborhoods in Chicago. Your thoughts??

Bill I went to college in Chicago and partied on the near north (Rush St) area and today I would not even want to drive thru that area. Also work repair service for restaurant equipment and did not worry about going into any area of the city north/south/white/black in the early 60's you wanted to take care but daytime did not worry. Night a little more carefull. SAD....

Looking at the number of deaths per 100 K populations, there are 9 other cities with a higher murder rate than Chicago so far in 2023. (note these numbers did not count the number of folks wounded and survived, as well as near misses with soiled shorts.) My city made the list, not something to brag about, but hoping the numbers go down everywhere.
St. Louis MO 69.4
Baltimore MD 51.1
New Orleans LA 40.6
Detroit MI 39.7
Cleveland OH 33.7
Los Vegas NV 31.4
Kansas City MO 31.2
Memphis TN 27.1
Newark NJ 25.6
Chicago IL 24
Cincinnati OH 23.4
Philadelphia PA 20.2
Milwaukee WI 20
Tulsa OK 18.6
Pittsburgh PA 18.4

Hasn't happened to our neighborhood as of yet.....but yes it is getting closer every day....we don't go down to the City of Chicago for anything....nothing down there worth risking your life for....down in the city they will rob you and when you give them everything you have....they still shoot you....We are about 50 miles from Chicago so still a decent distance.

I am only a couple hours from Chicago and like mentioned - I would not visit this city anymore.
I carry everyday and living 1 1/2 hours from Milwaukee and 30 mins from Madison - is too close to big cities!
