I am moving to the 1700 block of N. Maplewood Ave., which is a couple blocks north of North Ave. Many times I get out of work after dark, how concerned should I be?

You'll be fine. It's a block north or south of the Logan Square border (depending on the map used). I would consider that Humboldt Park since the old tracks provide a more defined border but either way that is the most gentrified area of Humboldt Park and is as safe as three blocks north or two blocks east of there.

PS- There is an excellent bar (the Green Eye) just down the stairs from the Western blue line stop. It is one of the many good, cheap bars within walking distance of your new residence.

If you are a woman you should be VERY careful.
