But Buena? No sweat.
well hell....I don't live in Uptown Uptown. Just buena park. We get stragglers, but nothing like the party going on up on Wilson.

I live right on Sheridan, and have actually been surprised how nice and calm the street is. I walk around Broadway just 200 feet away and it can get a little "festive". I keep my windows open all the time though facing Sheridan, and it's like you're living down on Wellington or something.

Strangely Lakeview gets kinds messy from Grace up to Irving Park, but then it snaps back to "lakeview" from Irving up to Montrose, then gets sketchy again. Although when I think about it about 80% of the issue is right at that Gill Coop or whatever at Grace and Broadway, along with the stuff right around there.

Speaking of the hotel... I passed by it about an hour or so ago. There was over a dozen people hanging out at the corner for no apparent reason. Usually there are much less...

I see this almost every fricken night.

It gets really old.

Last week I walked by a huge group there too. One of the guys was yelling at a woman for "always bringing the po-lice around". That place must get police calls almost daily for the sketchy **** that goes on there. And it's right up the street from District 23.

I swear there was like a Hotel Chateau BBQ going in Gill Park tonight. It looked like it was winding down when I walked past there a few minutes ago.

That was quite a sight to see.

I would like to see some photos of this event. Were they BBQ-ing meat, or just cooking heroin?
