I have at least two asian friends from Houston who like it here just fine. They're both male, so they've managed to avoid the womb-slicing, baby-stealing just by that virtue (if you can call it a virtue), but seriously, crime in most parts of Chicago is fairly normal - certainly nothing out for the ordinary for American cities, and safer than Houston in most cases.

Quite a forward thinking group of people you rely on for input. Maybe these individuals tell you these wackjob theories because no one wants you to move to Chicago. Just a theory.

I dont remember mentioning anything about relying on their input but yeah thats probably true. So far everyone has told us to stay.

The town I'm from is less than a quarter the size of Shreveport (which has a population of 200,000 people). I'm SURE there are smart people in Shreveport. You just seem to not be talking to them.

It's not where you are, it's who you're with. Stop seeking out morons.

I thought that womb-slicing baby stealing thing happened at a rural Wal-Mart... Am I right? I've only ever heard of that one incident, and it was a small town somewhere. I wanna say Missouri, but I can't remember.

There is a reason Louisiana is the poorest and least educated state.

One of the first was involved a woman in Addison. I believe the crime itself was in Villa Park: Williams cuts baby from womb, gets death penalty for kidnap, murder

Other states too:

I had a good friend who moved from Chicago to Mountain Home, Arkansas for 9 months. None of the 15 people or so in the office where she worked (the upstairs office for a factory) had ever been to Chicago or "yankee cities".

There was some large program at work where they were flying my friend and 6 other people to Chicago for a seminar (Chicago is the headquarters). My friend was really excited to show them around Chicago and have them see where she's from, get their reactions.

They ended up cancelling the event at the last moment, and my friend was shocked that all 6 of the people admitted to her that they'd been TERRIFIED about going to Chicago. She showed them pictures of downtown and her area on the north side, but they still couldn't shake the idea that women were being raped 24 hours a day on all downtown streets. It was very strange.

It was a very ignorant office though. One woman once told her in front of everyone to avoid the Memphis airport at all costs, because it's owned and run by the blacks. She looked around and everyone was casually nodding in agreement.
