I said all along that my buddy, Steve, lives on the SW corner of Lincoln Park. Anyone who knows this area know that this area is called Old Town. PJ doesn't know what he doesn't know.
I have never said that I'm too scared to go downtown. I said that downtown violence lead a good friend's sister to move her business from Indy. Hell, I spent three nights downtown for the American Coatings Show in April and I took my 29 year old boy to an Indians game on July 4...............the Indians beat the Cubs in 10 innings.
The punk problems start 1 block south of Second City, as that's the area the punks are targeting. My buddy lives one block due east of Second City, so I've been there many times. You've not been to Old Town or Oak Street beach recently. Somehow you know better than my friend who spends EVERY weekend there and has for 25 years.
The next thing you kmow, PJ will tell us that he knows what it's like to sit with the Bureau of Land Management while holding meetings about an offshore drilling project.
