around rush street you could be walking around at 3 o clock in the morning without a worry, Chicago, like every other big city in the world, has good parts and it has bad parts. To make a long story short, the west side and the south side are the parts of chicago you need to avoid if you don t know the city too well. Thesouth side is, well the south side (everything south of downtown) its easy to tell if something s on the south side because the adress will say south ex. 6721 S State St., also almost every east-west street on the south side is numbered, so that adress i just gave would be near 67th street, 67th and state street (you don t want to go there). The west side is basically the section of the city that s south of North avenue, west of western and north of the Eisenhower expressway, Logan Square is also a neighborhood to avoid if your new to the city. Also like every big city, you should watch your back and stay near people and lights because you can still get mugged in safe neighborhoods. Also this is the season for pickpockets, but don t get freaked out, Chicago s safe if you don t go in the wrong places at the wrong times.
Not where you are staying, you will be fine, there are alway people out and about in that area. I used to stay late after work go out for drinks, and such, with friends and then head home around 2 by myself..., (my work was right on rush by a couple hotels) so i m assuming thats where you will be, and of course i ll tell you that the bums are everywhere...but really they are harmless..don t worry about it.
It depends where in Chicago. Most U.S. cities can be dangerous if you go into the wrong areas. If you do a search for bad areas in Chicago you ll find numerous blogs telling people which areas are safe and not safe.
that is a great area so it should not be a problem. . I am always out during the night in Chicago and I have never once had an issue. and I am not always in the best area s at those times either.
You would have to walk a long way to go into a dangerous neighborhood from the area you are in. No worries.
