I was last in Chicago in 2000 and the downtown and museums/art museums were wonderful. It was fun. However there were no go areas then and much of the city had its dangers.
I worked in Chicago for quite a while. I still have fond memories of my time there.
It's is a shame to see our great cities, both large and small being degraded and destroyed by misguided liberal politics.
But that is what has been going on for over 50 years.
pretty much the same now as then
