Hi there,

I am wondering if there is any reliable way to find out about certain
spots in Chicago in terms of "good" or "bad" neighborhood. Any unbiased
info about that on the net that one could check before actually
traveling there? The spot in question is the area around Artesian Ave,
IL 60632.

Thanks a lot

As usual, the best way to seperate fact from fiction isn't asking questions
on this newsgroup or doing "research" in some musty, old library. The best
way to learn about the dangerous places in Chicago is to visit your local
video store and rent the movie "Candyman". If you want the "facts", you
just gotta hit the vids.
