You really want to admit to that?

If you frequent the hood as often as you claim you are likely to find yourself with bullet hole in your head sooner or later if you don't. With your wealth of experience how many shootings have been in the middle, must be more than me because I avoid bad areas when possible.

The real question here is why does this trigger you so badly??

Does living with that level of anxiety age you more quickly?

lol - I'm not the one looking for "escape routes" at stop lights.

I remember taking taxis from downtown to the Armitage area. You had to drive within one block of Cabrini Green. At the cross street there was a stop light, and I always prayed the light was green, so I didn't have to be sitting in a cab stopped at a stop light only one block from Cabrini Green.

In the early 70s, driving past there on North Ave. (?) was reputedly sometimes risky, as apartment dwellers on the upper floors would take pot shots at distant cars from the balconies.
