It's not as bad there as south of 47th but with the cargo container yard to the west and the old stock yards east from Ashland to Halsted it certainly won't be picturesque. I'd try not to inhale too deeply outdoors. LOL.

Why don't you look a little NE in Bridgeport or if you prefer a Hispanic neighborhood try McKinley Park, it is safer than BotY and Brighton Park and pretty well insulated on the border it shares with Bridgeport.

This guy claims to have grown up just north of there, on Cermak and Wood, stating that he is mistaken for a gangbanger, yet he has no idea what Back of the Yards is like. Sounds like a troll to me.

That whole area is very poor with few amenities. Worse, however, is like another poster said south of 47th St.
This is the area god forgot. And it has been like this for 25 years.
