Checking image hits that match my solitaire score, I came across a photograph of a residence in Chicago. The picture showed a three-story walkup, two rooms wide. I clicked on the “show page” selection to find out what urban Chicago houses are going for these days.
What came up was not the pictured house, but a Shell convenience store on South Michigan Avenue. That was surprising, since I thought I would see the residence.
Even more surprising were the tabs for “Local Crime” and “Nearby Drug Labs.”
What?
Below a photo of the convenience store was a red circle with a large white exclamation mark and the notation: Crime Rate High.
Also: School rating D+.
Registered offenders: 34 within one mile. (Does that mean sex offenders, or just general criminals?)
Foreclosures: 176 within one mile.
Environmental hazards: 114 within one mile.
A notation immediately beneath the photograph said: “Every Address Tells a Story.”
No kidding?
Nearby drug labs???
Why don’t people leave those neighborhoods? Or do drug-dealer cleansing operations?
