This is a dangerous 3-4 block stretch of rode at night! There is not enough lighting and people in wheelchairs,kids on bikes(neither have reflectors or lights) animals at large and a drunken fools on cell-phones walkin down the middle of the road and they will NOT move for anyone! That is this whole town at night.

Driving like idiots is also by where I live at. I betcha that these cops in this town could make a fortune with tickets if they would park and watch and give out tickets. The idiots drive like they have nothing better to do and also blow the stops signs also. There has been times that I have thought about putting something across the street to faltten the tires and at the same time have the cops sits in our driveway and watch the idiot drive.

man after reading all this garbage, Im so glad I live in a nice neighborhood of like 20-30 houses and all upper class folks, many elderly. People drive great down here, I can let my kids play, ride their bikes etc, and not have a worry in the world, even though i do watch them very closely at any expense! Its one of them neighborhoods where everyone pretty much knows everyone and we all watch out for one another, an unknown vehicle comes through, we keep our eyes open, its just how we roll. One of the dogs get loose, we band together and bring them home, its kinda like a big family

Just wanted to post this just in case the jerk reads threads on here. To whom ever was speeding down Chicago St. tonight around 9:10pm, we are not sure if the dog you hit will make it. You didn't even attempt to stop and check if he was ok even after my son was chasing you down the street! The bad thing is the kids that own the dog witnessed it. You should be ashamed of yourself. I do have your plates though so if I happen to run into you, you will definately be told all about yourself and how ignorant you truely are! Stop and think. This road has housing projects and a daycare on it and people fly down the road all the time. This time it was a dog but it may be a kid the next. Please start watching and slow down! I'm just asking. Where is Chicago St at?

i am waiting to see some sob drive right through the blue apartment building at the end of chicago st. all it takes is for the brakes to fail and cannot stop in time from hitting that building.one way or another either the blue apt building will get hit,or the two houses on either side of the building will get hit or entrance sign to the blue apts.the road is too narrow to make a sharp turn to avoid hitting any of these places.

It is NOT meant to be a RACIST remark...Have you ever driven down Chicago st. @ night? You cannot see animals,drunks or crack-heads(black/white/pink etc...) because of the poor lighting! It is what it is and if you find it racist then so be it! You keep tellin yourself that. I'm no fool so don't play me as one. I said my peace and done with it now.
