![]() Not sure about SF St. Louis, but I no longer patronize SF Great America in Chicago. We were there about a year ago this time, and it didn't look like a very good place to bring young children.. The profanity was out of control, and so was the line jumping. A fight nearly broke out when the line jumpers were confronted by others in line. I was with a group of other adult guests, so we could tolerate most of it, but I was glad we didn't have kids along. Waukegan and Gurnee are very tough areas, with a larger inner city and a huge gang problem. I'm sure Great America isn't immune to this blight. In fact, this gang problem has spread from Chicago up the coastline of Lake Michigan like a plague, infecting everything from Navy Pier to Milwaukeem, WI. Yeah, there are nice areas right along the waterfront, but large portions of the communities around the bottom of Lake Michigan are simply war zones. It's a terrible shame, and it's one of the big reasons we left the area for good. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |
