Great, that's where I go to get my "crave"...
ReplyDeleteIt was a suicide, so don't worry about that.
ReplyDeleteYea that area is pretty chill because they aren't a lot of ghetto hood rats running around terrorizing people. Edgewater is one of the few places in Chicago that has managed to be relatively thug free.
