There's beauty in the solace of not giving a damn.

Initial speculation is that it's gang-related. We'll see what turns up.

Man shot in Albany Park neighborhood - Chicago Breaking News

There was two different shootings today.

Only that one was reported so far.

This man was shot over a mile north of the address the OP is/was looking at.

I suppose it is related to this post however:

Not officially ruled an arson yet, but the preliminary evidence of arson is compelling enough that the coroner has already ruled the deaths as homicides.

We are seriously considering putting in an offer at N Albany and W Irving Park.

My only reservations about this place is I'm not very familiar with the area and the L is a bit further than I'd prefer, but the bus seemed quick when we tried it out.

Is this place in fact Albany Park and does anyone have an opinion about it?
You can get a decent house for under $200k in any number of decent neighborhoods. Unless you can get a decent 2 br/ 2 ba condo under $70k, I wouldn't do it.
