yes, I’ve heard that the Museum of Science and Industry is in a bad neighborhood.
Then again, is all of Chicago a bad neighborhood anymore, considering one’s chances of becoming a crime victim?
My daughter and son-in-law live in the Portage Park area, and that’s not bad, but the “good”areas are becoming fewer and far between…
Classic song Goin’ To Chicago had several hit versions. From Joe Williams and Count Basie one:
You keep your New York joys
I’m going to Illinois
Just as fast as I can
You New York women think
You’ll make a fool of any man
Play all kinds of games
And you’ll cheat if you can
Use love like a tool
Make a man a fool
And people are friendly
Without no hidden plan
It’s the best in the midwest
It’s a real darn city full of
Good folks who come from home
And when I get back
I’ll never roam far
From my little Chitown
Goodbye, farewell
I might see you later
Going to Chicago
Sorry but I can’t take you
