. . . aaaaand that's my block. Not surprised - there's been a huge uptick in the number of sketchy-looking people wandering around the area of late, as well as aggressive gang tagging of buildings from Damen west to Hoyne.
I gotta move. NOW.
I was driving by there yesterday afternoon. That place is a mess over by the old Rogers Park Pantry/Ho. There are the same people hanging out in that Pantry's parking lot that used to hang out in the store day and night. They sit out on milk crates as people "visit." No doubt that something is and always was going on. The owner used to tell me stuff. In addition, the trash, graffiti, food cart litter, boarded up storefront, etc. make it worse. 'Real nice picture of the neighborhood for people entering the area from the Howard el via Pace bus. Let’s take a vote on a name for it? A nice name may help.
