For those of you more visually oriented, here is a crime map. Looks pretty scattered to me. As you can see, it is NOT all on the south side.

Let me help you out. It's so popular they have their own wiki:

Trixie (slang) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Chad (slang) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Apparently you don't know Chicago as well as you purport to.

Bah. Every real Chicagoan knows that people who live in 60657 are either poser suburbanites or non-natives...and Wikipedia, really?!

P.S. This thread was about Houston, not Chicago - and if all you've got is obscure Lincoln Park minutiae from the 1990s, this isn't even a fair fight...

Dude, it's the very area you said was crime free. You know, the whole segregation bullcrap argument. See, I fight hyperbole with facts. That's how I win arguments. You act like a child kicking and screaming. Why don't you bring some facts to the table and talk. You didn't even know what a trixie or chad is and they are probably the two most well known terms describing northsiders. Hell S&L did a skit on it.

I posted crime stats from this WEEK! Not the 1990's. Good lord, it's like beating up a handicapped child. I almost feel bad about the abuse I'm putting on you.

Well known to every drunk at John Barleycorn's maybe. This isn't a Chicago pissing contest or trust me, you'll lose.

I never said Lincoln Park was crime free. If anything Chicago is getting to be more desegregated and "bad areas" are spreading to neighborhoods adjacent to the Englewoods and Rogers Parks. But again - this is a Houston thread. No way comparable to Chicago.

Trixie and Chad are irrelevant '90s references. Your crime stats were not cited.

I'm clearly confusing you so later, troll...
Yes, my crime states most certainly were cited.
