    "I was born/raised in Chicago- grew up in North Roseland. I currently live in South Shore. Love the proximity to the Lake. While there’s some economic investment happening in South Shore, still a lot could be done to improve the quality of the neighborhood. "

    "if you want your kids safe, keep them inside or be out with your kids. It's clear that parents don't pay attention to their children these days, so if your not one of those parents them keep an eye on yours at all times. This isn't a neighborhood I would let my child out to play.... period!!!"

    "High crime area. High unemployment area. Near buses and Metra trains. Near lakefront and Rainbow beach. Area use to be nice, clean blue collar in the seventies. Decline started in the eighties and nineties (relocation of people from demolished housing developments) to areas nearby. Improvement might come sometime in the future because of location to the lake."
