Not to scare you off or imply this is frequent, but while the loop is generally going to be safe anything can happen any time

Wilding Season Opens
And the media gives it exactly ZERO coverage. But Crime in Wrigleyville and Boystown does:
At least four people were injured and two arrests were made after a large group of teenagers went wild near Chicago’s historic Water Tower on Saturday evening, according to police and witnesses.
Security at the Water Tower Place shopping mall reported the first sign of trouble around 8:20 p.m. Fifty teenagers were said to be involved in a fight near the mall entrance at 845 North Michigan Avenue.
Police summoned an ambulance for an injured juvenile.
As the shopping mall incident mellowed, sparks flew again less than a block away near the landmark historic water tower and Jane Byrne Plaza.
Fifty "teens" in the initial fight. How many at the other?

Correct us if we're wrong, but that meets or exceeds the number of cops on duty in 018. And once the weather warms up? Our readers were also reporting from the area:

As we speak 018 is up for grabs...gangs of inner-city teens are running around punching people, running in traffic, jumping on cars while shouting “All white people must die!”
30 pending and what said...
And losing Michigan ave. 10-1 by Macy's. About 100 m/1s attacking passersby. Wow

No mention anywhere except by CWB about the 300 out of control youths wilding in front of water tower last night. Numerous citizens battered arrests and a agg bat to PO. Maybe security from water tower can run after then and apologize to them for stereo typing.
We keep telling citizens to get themselves a Concealed Carry permit and a pair of Groucho glasses in case they have to light up one of these honor roll students. And also, stop voting for the same old assholes or you're going to keep getting the same old asshole behavior
