    If I were people, I would go the extra distance to avoid that stop at ALL costs. It's nothing but trouble, everyday all the time. The extra time may save your valuables and your life.

    When I lived in Uptown, I stopped riding the trains all together. I'd rather take the bus or a cab.

    And you're right, that "L" station has always been dangerous.
