    "Other dog owners sometimes do pick up for their dogs but then other times they don’t. I just think it’s pretty bad sometimes that someone’s yard ends up filled with dog poo."

    "McKinley park has plenty of land to walk dogs of all sizes. Neighbors do not really complain about loud dogs. Most neighbors pick up after their pet and walk them on a leash. Cars do not drive through the streets in excess speed. "

    "I've lived all my life, 45 years and neighborhood has changed a lot. l do have to go out at night and i have never felt threatened. Hard working people, some section eight, Some blocks still have block parties. i still feel safe here,a lot of dogs and kids.But the city keeps cutting trees down, so not a lot of trees. Near Orange line and Archer Ave. which has great places to eat and, is the main artery to anywhere you need to go. Great location to live in."

    "Parking will take a toll on you. Mornings are heavy in traffic specially during school drop-offs Always be at least 30 minutes early before you catch traffic. Its inevitable but it’s possible. "
