So.... bottom line is, the 'hood rats most likely won't bother you and there are ample shopping opportunities. Welcome to Rogers Park.

Did you go to Hamiltons and the Pumping Company?
I used to go to those places all the time years ago. I have been thinking about checking them out again even though I run the risk of appearing like Will Ferrell in Old School.

I am an excellent wingman. haha

Last summer there was an area near one of the CPS schools that the local thugs declared a "no white guy zone". There were several gooning incidents there. But of course, I can't remember where that was... It was covered on The 'Broken Heart' of Rogers Park.
