Southside is nowhere near as rough as it used to be, I lived in Hyde Park in the 80's and recall it well.

Westside is still rough.

I think hyde park looks pretty decent ! lots of college students and small businesses. I agree the westside is by far the worst. Just don't go over there in the wrong car or on foot and ur ok...and thats no joke !

i grew up in cicero and still live there to this day, all the bullshit i have seen, from a drug/***** house across the street, to gang bangers shooting down the alley, no matter where you go there will be crime to a point
the city or brubs have changed allot of corse, since mayor dailey close the projects guess where all the moon crickets are goin??? berwyn and cicero, berwyn crime has gone up cicero crime is even higher, but the new mayor of cicero has been craking down i will give him that cops patrol the alleys, on foot, in the summer
kicking out families that are illlegal, kicking out gangbangers, but its not that bad where i live, it cold be worse
i love goin downtown!, my daughter loves it the lake, the museums, the mag mile, i hate sports so we dont do that, the food some of the best i have eaten, any old timers like my self remember "jew town" c`mon some of the best food came from that spot
the car shows, wanna get away go to the city, i love chicago!!
i hate the weather here, sometimes there is no happy medium,, it goes from hot to cold thats it, sweet home chicago!!!!
