Sounds like a tough place...
That area is a real tough neighborhood now, Woodlawn. A few years back a pit bull was found on fire tied to a fence in an alley. My wife and I went down there to paper the neighborhood with flyers offering a reward for finding the cretins that did it. A 17 year old kid was turned in by his mother, she got the $5,000 reward and he got no jail time because he was a minor. Nice huh...
I call that area the Arm Pit of Chicago, right where I-90 and I-94 split and if you look at it on a map you can see the arm pit.
I looked on Google to see if the building is still there, but it looks like it has been demolished.
