Unfortunately, my daughter drank the kool-ade on living in cities instead of those "evil" suburbs; and, so, she lives in Chicago. In a few months, hubby and I are going to have to go to Chicago for her wedding. I am looking forward to seeing her marry a wonderful guy; but, I am dreading having to go anywhere near that hell hole.
I hope it goes great. I assume the worst ares are in the areas made slums by the people that live there. Good luck.
Your daughter chose to have her wedding and reception in a hellhole? That might be a signal of some sort.
