Thugs is an understatement.  Good reminder to stay alert.   Is that area of Oak Park Ave pretty deserted at that hour?

That area isn't particularity dangerous - been there at same time coming home from Ale Haus.  In fact, in the OP the bigger threat tends to be stolen bikes by way of garage break-ins.

Sad on all levels. We let our W. Suburban coordinator, Ruth Myers, know along with our e.d. Ron who lives in Oak Park.

Thanks,
