Those are very high-crime depressed areas. Washington Park is possibly not as bad, but I would feel unsafe in all of them any time of the day.

That's my point. I don't feel unsafe in those areas, during the day at least.

I don’t know how you couldn’t. There are so many drive-bys and bursts of gun violence like the incident that left over 30 people dead in Roseland a few months ago. What type of business do you have to do in those areas?

smegmatite, you just earned free lessons, my good Sir! We better start with the foam ones though. This year I bought a pair of rattan ones in Chinatown and I modified the chain links. It is really a bad***** pair of chucks. We'll work you up to being able to use those!- Master Jay in Milwaukee

What? There was no incident with over 30 people dead in Roseland. Roseland doesn't even have that many homicides in total.

For the most part I’ve felt safe, I have been in someone “awkward” situations and honestly that maybe due to my demographic. But again for the most part if you’re not looking for trouble it won’t find you...
