Note to self: cross Chicago off the list of cities to visit.
Chicago is not bad to visit, just stay out of the south and west sides of Chicago. There are lots of suburbs around Chicago to visit. many from Chicago area are gone on the weekends to Wisconsin and Michigan, to hunt, ski, fish, camp or basically get out the area to recuperate. i see many of my neighbors here in the UP of Michigan whom are from Chicago more often. they are happy to get out the area. I hear many have to the insurance companies deal with their stolen work vehicles show up on the southside of Chicago - the top cut off the work truck and the equipment all gone. getting to be more common and maddening fro the businessman. They say it is nice up here, than they read the paper about all the drug busts for heroin, and prescription drugs. heroin in rural areas is on the rise and many of the police are not prepared in how to deal with it in rural Michigan.
