Hi Xanadu,
It would be great if we were 12 blocks further west, that would put us in the town of Oak Park, a very "trendy" area... The problem is we're not, the division lines are pretty apparent in that area of Chicago... I swear they are night and day, travel east bound on Lake street from Oak Park... Wham-o, in a matter of blocks you're rolling up your windows and locking your doors as saying "what the hell happened?", it's scary... I would not park my car anywhere near there not to mention walking around at anytime of day... Unless things have drastically changed in the last few years, I would not venture out there... Glta Pete...
