Is is safe enough for me and my family to go to “The Museum of Science and Industry” in Chicago?

the majority of Chicago violent crime occurs in a few neighborhoods on the South and NW sides of the city. You will have no reason at all to go to places like Englewood, Auburn Gresham, Garfield Park, etc... Being originally from Chicago, when I return I like to sometimes play "tourist" in my own city, and drive around these neighborhoods, but only early in the morning, like 7 AM, to see how they have changed. I would never go late afternoon or evening.

The busy downtown areas in the Loop, Gold Coast, even down to Hyde Park (where your Museum is) will be OK.

These teens saw the NASCAR Race on the streets of Chicago, so they wanted to try it with Mustangs, Camaros and Supras. They want to become NASCAR racers...🤓

Can I demonize the people who gave them life, who didn't raise them, mayor Johnson?

I'd say parents, but I doubt they ever parent those kids!
