I read it to mean you can report suspected criminal activity and don't intervene yourself.

You found this sign posted somewhere outside Chicago?

About 5 years ago I spent 5 days in downtown, I thought it was pretty cool. Good food. Wouldn't want to do it too often though. Pretty massive.

I saw where you could drive through the tolls and pay later without a penalty. I drove around for three days and never paid a toll. I forgot all about paying the tolls and I figured I drove through 20some. I got a bill for $68, three lousy tolls. Those people can't even steal right.

Chicago White Sox, Tolls, rough roads. Seriously, it’s no different than any other large metro area.

I rode my bicycle through Chicago on a cross country trip in '98. When I got to the South side I passed a group 8 or 10 kids. May have been 6-10 yrs old. One of them shouts,"Look, they are real (white people.) They aren't just on T.V."

If you do happen to be in Chicago, DO NOT GO DOWN INDIANAPOLIS BVLD.
Posted By: deflave Re: avoid Chicago - 05/30/19
Oh STFU. There are plenty of white neighborhoods on the south side.

I've not had the opportunity to visit other than flying in and out of O'Hare on layovers.
I have noticed there are lots of pretty colors in the lake that seem to be flowing out from the city area.
It looks rather artsy from the sky....

Quoting NBC news


The week of May 20 to May 26 saw 54 shooting incidents and 11 murders in Chicago, bringing the year total to 703 shootings and 174 slayings, according to the police department. The city had seen 193 murders at this point in 2018.



If Chicago would have not experienced a colder than normal winter, the numbers would be at a record level

19 fewer murders. Winning!

I still say you're all full of schit.

The places those murders take place aren't anywhere a tourist or passer-thru would be.

200 miles should not make that much difference in how people conduct themselves, but it sure as heck seems to. Maybe it is a Packer-Bear thing, but the people there are just wound real tight. They see a Wisconsin license plate and yielding to let you into traffic isn't happening. My Minnesota nephew and a buddy went to a Soldier Field Viking Bear game while wearing some of their purple Viking stuff and they nearly got beat up from violent Bear fans. He went to a Packer game up here wearing the same outfit and he said that the people were actually nice. We see those Chicago types up here every weekend and that probably tells you something right there. The attitude though is: We are Chicagoins and we are superior beings, so out of our way cheeseheads, we are here to recreate. What scares me is so many people think that they actually like it there.

Most people from that area are genuine ass holes.

I've found they are inherently drawn to people from New York and Massachusetts also. It's almost super-natural.

Great movie.

Chevy was so funny, and then became incredibly unfunny later in life.

I wonder what happened...maybe the Coke ran dry.

Comiskey was closer, but.. Meh.

Was gonna go up for show a month ago but Fd up my back and couldnt handle the drive. I like Chicago. Music and food......just need more money. Never can stay as long as i want
Posted By: hookeye Re: avoid Chicago - 05/30/19
Is pretty bad around the United Center. A ahort trip over is a cool pub w music called the Bottom Lounge. You definitely want to take a certain route to places. Avoid stopsigns/lights in some places. Bouncer told me two yrs before ( this 2016 ) he wouldn't ever go to that area.....but amazing clean up. Note: couple blocks east it was a chithole.....and then got good again. You best know literally what blocks are safe. Never go to Chicago alone. Drive w doors locked....windows up and passenger w gun. Legal. Even in Indianapolis......blow the sign or roll through if need be. There be wolves about looking for easy prey. They will steer clear of you if you look like youre paying attention.
Posted By: hookeye Re: avoid Chicago - 05/30/19
Preshow party was at the lounge. Another music venue was running free shuttle to the United Center. It was fun and zero hassle. Had a great time. Years before at another show ( Aragon )....late exit....had to walk a long ways to vehicle. But certain fans tend to scare the local troublemakers. Buddy said same thing in Detroit. LMFAO
Posted By: hookeye Re: avoid Chicago - 05/30/19
The city can be big n bad....but usually thats because people do stupid chit. My chithole burg has been way more problematic. As it is here and in Indy/chicago.......avoid the groid and all goes well
Posted By: deflave Re: avoid Chicago - 05/30/19
Hookeye,

I agree. Even in the mid-90’s some of the areas surrounding the United Center were no joke.

Not the best place to look for hookers. That’s for sure.
