            yeah although gentrification is kinda wierd. Its like the moment an area is not completely crime ridden it gets bought up and suddenly prices are through the roof.

              I wonder if that happened in Ohio, generally I don’t hear good things from my friends but they don’t hate it–completely. Last time I went to visit friends, the same cones were in the same place–ten years later sigh. It’s an odd place, when I was in college, like 18-19, I went to a shooting range in Lorain and they didn’t as for an ID lol

                yeah I say suddenly but it does takes years but screws up people who. you know. just want to live somewhere and not move around all the time. So like long ago lincoln park was crime ridden and little village was a nice neighborhood. Bronzeville prices are practically lincoln park level now but you might not want to walk around at night.

                  I get that. I wonder if it’s part of the heroin crisis. I’m surprised that my friend group got caught up in that, I had moved away a long while ago. But it’s like my friends sister, I stayed with them, ended up doing that, getting knocked up, and losing custody of her kid. I’m last I remember you were doing cosplay stuff.

                    lincoln park was dangerous right through the 60’s but its gentrification was the 70’s. Its been a think with chicago for awhile. suburban flight. city surge. its an old story but its mostly about the wealthy buying up things and others just trying to survive and trying to have a nice environment.
