Do you live in a loft in East Pilsen or just Pilsen? Do you feel safe? I am not a night owl, but would like to feel safe walking my dog until 10pm. Also, if you know of a loft for rent, pls DM.

Lived in East Pilsen and no I did not feel safe walking at night even with my dog. Maybe if I had another person with me.

Pilsen is great, my favorite neighborhood in Chicago even, but it's not Lincoln Park or New East Side. Not yet at least 😁

I hope all of the neighborhoods could be safe to walk in one day.

Try University Village lofts or commons along 15th. Walkable to the great things of Pilsen but feels a little better at night.

I loved Pilsen and lived there for two years. Would live there again, but I would refrain from downloading citizen (neighborhood watch app). Ignorance is bliss.

I started getting nervous after there was a car jacking three doors down and when there was 20 gunshots 700 ft away at 7 am.

It’s possible for people to interpret things differently. It’s one of the things that make life interesting. Don’t take life (or a comment on an anonymous post) too seriously. Go outside and touch grass sometime!

Lived there, F, used to walk alone at night and loved how quiet it gets

If you love Pilsen, but have concerns, South Loop is a great option too. Very close.

Look in the University Commons building - v affordable. Pilsen is v safe. I never had an issue there and walked home at night quite frequently

^are you a troll?

Live in West Loop or New East Side if you want to be downtown. Live in Lincoln Park, Lincoln Park East, or West Lake View if you want a neighborhood feel.

Loft living was a nightmare for me, but to each their own. West Loop has lots of them.

Of course. Don’t get me wrong, they are typically beautiful spaces, and I love the idea of conserving/repurposing historical spaces. These are just things I wish I had known going in.

Very Noob question: First year here that has done DD for a couple of deals representing the seller now. Essentially all I did was note whether certain agreements have change of control provisions, and if so, what the specific language is. I understand what the CoC do, but why am I doing this? Specifically, what does the buyer do with this? It seems like these provisions should trigger but nothing then happens...

Additional Posts in Chicago

Are there any well-off suburbs around Chicago where there's a significant amount of black or mixed race people? Significant meaning 40-50%+. I've seen a lot of nice black suburbs in southern and eastern cities but less in the midwest. In an interracial relationship and want to get an idea if there are any suburbs where our kids would feel represented or if we'll need to move down south for that.

Found a random engagement ring.

Hi all, so I found a platinum ring (which I assumed it's an engagement ring as it has dates and initials engraved on top.) And a Divvy tag (I have no idea what it was until I googled it. Apparently it's a bike sharing service in Chicago) in a briefcase I ordered online. I was thinking of returning the item back to the store but that wouldn't help the person who lost the ring. Attached is a picture of them.

What should I do now?
