    Most interesting neighborhood in Chicago. A mix of old ghetto with gentrified streets. Really a hidden treasure. You should move here before it's too expensive

    Some folks try to slam us in uptown. We choose to be here. All you see is crime in the city. I love these beat streets.

    Only awesomeness abounds in Uptown. The hookers and crack dealers are employed by the homeowners here to keep undesirable lame ass people away. Works like a charm.
