Right now, these last 2 months, it's gotten more dangerous in West Town, Logan Square, Wicker Park, Avondale, and over at DePaul and Loyola's campuses.

Not "you might get shot" more dangerous, but "you might get held up for your belongings" more dangerous.

Big uptick since late July. And yes, it's affected my behavior.

I don't live there. Nor is this a Highland Park thread. So, no clue.

I'm curious why Highland Park was inquired upon?

And where is that one response that said, "Boring" ?. LOL

A close friend of mine was born there and lived there from 1957 to 1962.

jbgusa, good morning.

I apologize if I came across rude, with my question.

I was just wondering what made you mention Highland Park, on the "Chicago crime" thread?

It just caught me off guard. Again, I apologize.

Isn't it a high-crime area?

Outside of the highly public July 4th parade shooting, it's a very low crime area. It's a very rich suburb.
