i second the chicago open-air thing. it's ridiculous.. never had a problem going down there without a connect. and after reading a bit of the closed chicago heroin threads, it's obvious that we're all going to the same area, lol.
i'm actually from milwaukee though, and incidentally i tried going in the hood here today for the first time to see if i could cop like i can down in chi- trips down there get expensive without a car. fuckin' fail man. nobody. i ended up finding it but not before one group of brothas tried ripping me off, and the people i did meet were just middlemen that my buddy/driver had to give a ride to their dude's house or whatever. got a shitty deal because of it... like, 50-60% of what i would've liked to have gotten for the money, of mediocre quality.
so yeah, no open-air market in milwaukee.
