Sarah-


ZCMI and Crossroads (across the street) are ghost towns now... They opened an new mall about 4 blocks away. It is a 2 1/2 block long, 2 story high, outdoor mall called Gateway. Its a pretty slick mall albiet cold to shop during winter... hehe

I spend alot of time there because they have an awesome movie theatre.

I need to add my shop vac. and coffee.......

This is probably the only reason I love living in this area. Only a 5 minute drive from our house to here.

i love living at the west coast because i live like 10 minutes from the beach and like 20 minutes from the channel islands plus there's whale watching.

I hate living near Chicago. No matter where I move, or how nice the neighborhood is, a ton of gangbangers always follow me. Forest Park where I grew up turned into a complete ghetto (although they are cleaning it up now), moved to Westmont and was followed by a ton of hoods being moved from the projects to the HUD okayed suburbs. One family, I think about 15 family members from what I saw (a mom with about a dozen kids aged 1-20) moved in across the street and caused absolute chaos with some friends from the city. Harrassing and assaulting people, then 73 cars in one weekend got tires slashed, robbed, a corvette on blocks with the wheels gone, etc. The family was evicted after 3 weeks. Only one of MANY that moved in and caused problems when they started sending them out of the projects and into the burbs. Then Minooka. Corn field and white gangbangers, much like Brookfield and Riverside, only worse. These posers were hardcore. Think B-Rad, only cloned 500X, only they are somewhat respectful out there. Now Woodridge. Nice condos a 1.5 years ago when I moved in. Now it's the same thing as Westmont, and getting worse every week. I can't even walk across the street to buy a 6 pack without some crackhead or group of gangbangers in winter appearal (76 degree out), fresh out of jail asking me for money or a ride to the bus stop. Forest Park had real thugs, but at least I grew up with most of them and they knew I wasn't anyone to be f'n with. Anyone else having these problems where they live?

Aw, man, the death of childhood memories! Soooo sad :(

Aric, that picture is *breathtaking*!

Jake, yeah, I've heard a lot about the gang activity in and around Chicago from friends who live there. I don't think I could live there!
