    Wicker Park USED to be the "IN" area for the younger crowd..seems it's becoming or has become just another gang controlled neighborhood. MORE COPS=LESS CRIME!

    I remember when Wicker Park went through its gentrification process and everyone was breaking their necks to move into that neighborhood. It looks like they'll be breaking their necks to move out.
