Just saying, if you really want to be "in the know" about the bevy of security concerns and issues around our neighborhood's "front door," then pay attention closely. Much of what you hear will both shock and enlighten you. One of the prayers for relief sought in the suit is for the Courts to mandate that both public and private entities in the area beef up security patrols - which will benefit all of us.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1167519580792566980.post-42330153091430925462010-01-23T09:38:16.619-06:002010-01-23T09:38:16.619-06:00Kinda off topic, Anon.

Also, I completely agree with the comment regarding the unfortunate location; this is not a place I would dare to walk to at night.<br /><br />That being said, I am curious as to why this blog doesn't contain more information regarding community safety alerts. For example, I find it irresponsible to suggest a place like this without warning that a woman was held up and mugged at gunpoint in the afternoon just east of this location two weeks ago.<br /><br />Moreover, there is no mention of the string of strong arm robberies that are happening all over the UIC campus, just West of the Sloop.
