heads up to people in chicago... that
http://chicago.everyblock.com/crime website has shown the police are busting about 15 people at a different spot about two times a month or so. Search primary type = narcotics, and secondary type =narcotics: attempted posession of narcotics, and you will see where they've been hitting. Unfortunately there's about a two week delay on the information. Scary thing is, the most recent sting they show is one of the number of spots where i used to go to pretty often throughout the winter, where they sell the "BEST" bags sealed in clear packing tape, with the strip of green tissue paper. Its funny because i rolled by the spot last week and there were a bunch of kids playing outside near where they hung out. Even as a user, that a good thing to see, ya know. I was on methadone last summer, so the only times i've used have been the past couple winters. So whenever i've hit the blocks, there're no kids out bc its freezing cold (i never go during the hours kids are walking to or from school, doesnt feel right). So its weird to go out in the summer and see kids playing twenty feet from guys dealing drugs.
But it seems like they're doing operations in that area now. At my other spot last week, i heard someone talk about how they heard the police where doing a "thing" on such and such street we were on. One guy i go to has been really sketched out the past few weeks, saying the heat is on. Theres a lot nearby some big grocery store where you can see all the undercover cars parked, must be the meet up/ home base type spot. Anyways, be careful out there. I mean shit, it would be pretty obvious if you went by your usual spot and someone you'd never seen asks if you want to buy some "smack". Just say no to "smack" kids!
edit - from the stats, they've been doing these operations every 9-15 days, and its been 14 days since the last (reported) one, so if you're in a situation where something seems off, it probably is.
