#1 Part of my route to work every day takes me past a couple of these 'Safe Passage' streets. The folks are out in force. There are people wearing yellow T-shirts and some others wearing blue T-shirts. What the shirts say I don't know. I've seen a few Chicago cops on these streets but not many, and only a couple squad cars.

Seems like they're trying to make it work. Question is, why haven't they been doing this all along?

#5 Depends, some of the safe passages are indeed near the Red Line: that runs from Howard to 95th. Check with the CTA for scheduling information...

#6 Whahahaha. I never venture closer than the confines of O'Hare, Elgin, or St. Chas.

#7 I'm betting that not one of those shooting incidents involved a legal firearm.

#9 Looks like a civil war is going on there. Maybe the airforce should bomb it and see if that works?

We'd love to have you.
