    "I lived in this area for 9 months and all I Herat is gun shots, police and ambulance sirens every other day all day long. This location is in the ending of Canaryville and beginnings of Back of the Yards. Loud trucks passing all day. Also it’s an entire GANG that resides and hang on this EXACT BLOCK. Although there are some nice houses in this area just not safe "
