rampant crime, I never saw anything sketchy. We stayed near Miracle Mile.


Earlier this year, had someone threaten to rape my significant other while we were walking down the Magnificent Mile at around 7pm. And the trains are absolutely disgusting.

But still had a good time. City is a lot of fun, tons to do, food is amazing. Would return. Practice the common sense street smarts and you'll be fine.

Most weekend visitors ride the Blue and Red Lines, which aren't fantastic - not totally unexpected, though, given how expansive their routes are.

I'm always amazed by the Brown Line. Helps that it goes through the wealthier north side neighborhoods (Old Town, Lincoln Park, Lake View, Lincoln Square, Ravenswood, Roscoe Village), but it's usually a quiet, well-maintained train. Was on the Brown Line my first five years in Chicago. Have since been on the Blue Line between Wicker Park and Bucktown - sometimes will get one of the newer trains, but usually the shitty ones
