This area is known for gangs, and many of them walk around at night half drunk; they occasionally vandalize vehicles and other people's buildings, causing lots of damage and expenses to repair or clean.

Everything is conveniently located at a close distance. I never have to travel far for anything and that is what I've always loved about living in a big city like chicago. Plus all the local businesses are very cultured. You can buy Indian and hispanic food at a small grocery store as opposed to the majority of chain grocery stores around the country. You can honestly buy whatever you need and don't have to drive more than 3 miles
