I live on Wrightwood Ave (between Diversey and Fullerton) just west of Pulaski.
I can only last another year here, and that's only because I just signed a year's lease at a new apartment in Lakeview -- a generally "safe" part of town.
I have a friend who's leaving town because her boyfriend's so traumatized after witnessing an extreme case of road rage. Two men were yelling after a minor traffic accident. One got out, approached the other's driver-side window and shot him in the head.
I just went to Barnes & Nobles to look for a magazine, and on my way home saw two cop cars fly through an intersection, then screech to a halt, leap out of their cars and chase a bunch of guys on foot. Then, I was apparently not going fast enough for the people behind me, so they sped around me and threw a plastic cup full of some liquid out of their window onto my windshield.
There's danger in the air tonight.
I overheard one of the guys outside earlier telling the cops that the shooter was driving an electric-blue Astro. Right when I got home from the book store, I got out of my car only to see an electric-blue Astro pulling around the corner onto my street. They drove by slowly and kept going.
The lights on our street have been out for over a week, so I couldn't see a liscense plate.
