@JHS - A few weeks ago, I had an early appointment at Jackson Park Hospital, about two miles south of the UC campus on Stony Island. That morning there had been a drive-by shooting, and the entrance to the hospital parking lot was closed off. The victims had been removed, but their car was still there. It had numerous bullet holes, and the inside was covered with blood.

When I asked my contact how he liked working there, his response was that it was OK during the day, but at night it was a war zone, and that if you stood outside, you would hear gunshots in the distance.

It is good that you find the 55th Street bus a pleasant experience, and have not had any problems on it. However, I am not going to trust my kid’s safety to the opinions of a condescending fly-in parent when I have a lot more experience working and living in the area than they do.
