It's been declared more dangerous in Chicago than Kabul, Afghanistan.

Some people just aren't very good at connecting the dots.

Libs are overlooking Chicago on purpose.  I've a lib cousin who I warned to be careful when he traveled there around Thanksgiving.  He told me it was safe.....not to worry that there wasn't anything going on.  I sent him articles and he blew it off as gang/drug related.

They love their lib mayors and sanctuary cities...........

Here are the top 10 worst neighborhoods in Chicago. Number 3 is Riverdale. I remember back in 1974 when I was living in Schiller Park, I bought my Ruger Super Blackhawk from Chuck's Gun Shop in Riverdale. It wasn't too bad of a place then. Now, forget it. By the way Chuck's Gun Shop is still there.

It's hard to believe that the Chicago PD only has a 25% clearance rate on those homicides.

I mean, with all of the help they get from the "community" you'd think it would be higher.  ::)

The problem is that it spills over to everyone else.  Chicago is the only city where I have been shot at, shootings happen in all areas of the metro area, emergency services responders are attacked on a regular basis, and the entire basis for the drug and gang connection is to protect and grow their illegal and dangerous presence.

There is much to worry about in that place, and putting your head in the sand exposes your tender parts!

I was born in my grandparents house in Chicago in 1947. 

6640 South Oakley was their address.  (I remember their phone number to   Grovehill (GR) 61520, after having your local operator send you to the Chicago exchange

It appears to be on the west edge of West Englewood, or perhaps on the east edge of Chicago Lawn.

Spent most summers in Chicago until I was 16.

It was always a tough neighborhood, being on the South Side, but it noticed it going down hill when I would visit my grandparents, still living on Oakley, around 1970.
