Streeterville is not "notorious." Its one of the most expensive areas in the city, home to $million condos along the Chicago River, close to the upscale Michigan Ave, expensive restaurants, etc...
Its thugs coming and going from the Navy Pier or hanging out along the river-walk, smoking pot.
I wonder if those wealthy residents of Streeterville will look at gating or walling off their neighborhood.
Seeing this in California more and more and it looks like all new developments now are gated, with 24-hour guards - and they brag about it in the sales info.
Was beginning to wonder why an ordinary couple would wonder into a "notorious" neighborhood.
and I think they get around by free bus or metro....because it would have been racist not to allow them free access to the better parts of town that are kept clean and orderly...
