Chicago pool happenings

When I was 18 my sister (16) and I did a landscaping job inside Cabrini Green. Just the two of us and a truck.

It was scary and people gathered around to watch us work but nobody tried anything.

We were lucky.

This was 1986.

That was about the height of the danger. Got lucky

It was STONEY Island, which means you were on the South Side, and the cop did you a big favor.

Like all cities, Chicago has safe and unsafe areas. I used to live in Cicero, back when it was still a mob town and very safe at all hours of the day or night. But, if you got on the wrong side of Cicero Avenue after dark, you were dead meat.

If you are worried about crime, there are online crime maps and gang maps, but best to ask the locals. Chicago is very neighborhoody.

Unless you were a business owner. Hate those scumbags getting glorified in movies, lowest of the low

lol, he crushed everyone.
He was fascinated by the 3 Cushion players.

I filmed him at Tweeten, Chicago Billiard Cafe & Chris’s. His show producers were befuddled that I was everywhere😂

You feel unsafe in poor neighborhoods? None of those where you’re from?

I’ve been in plenty of bad neighborhoods. Did I feel unsafe, sometimes. I’ve also meet some very friendly people in those neighborhoods. I’ve got a scared to death story from one of my pool adventurers in Ft. Wayne. Same story, bad neighborhood with some very nice people and a few bad ones. I feel fortunate to have come out of that one unscathed. Here in New Orleans there’s been so many car jackings and crime in places here that people run red lights to reduce their exposure. Every city in the world has bad areas, it’s not limited to Chicago.
