Summit is far from any part of Chicago that has been plagud by gang violence. A "small town girl" ought to be fine at any used car lot,at least from the perspective of gunfire...

No. I can safely say you're not going to get mugged in Summit. It's a sleepy inner-ring suburb. And probably stop listening to your family when they obviously don't know much of what they're talking about.

Harlem Avenue of Summit is the same Harlem Avenue of Chicago. It's Harlem Avenue; isn't going to be a problem!

Are you going to a random garage at 2am in the back of an alley? If not you will be just fine.

You are probably safe. The main problem with Summit is the diSTINKtive odor coming from the Corn Products plant. And I think it repels the bad guys.

Yeah. Sleepy.

Here's a map of the gang hotspots in Summit. Just stay on the few blocks that aren't highlighted on the map and you'll be fine.

The map is too small to see, but Summit isn't even mentioned in the article you posted.
