I hear the Lincoln Park area is an upscale area. It’s not ghetto. And that makes this an unusual situation.

“youths” can gather anywhere.

Also, the parks close at 11pm. No enforcement, I guess.

It is, which makes this story shocking!

And what were these groups doing there at 3:00 something in the A.M. ?

This was the “park” in Lincoln Park it is a wealthy neighborhood. People come from all over the city and world to the zoo and other attractions. My favorite part is the lagoon.

What the hell? The parks close at 11.

This is also where the Lincoln Park Riots occurred provoking the Democrat Convention violence in 1968.

Lincoln Park is very upscale. Its not near the hood at all. So this is very strange. While 3:30 am seems like nobody would be around, its not really true. That part of the city is pretty dense. People go to bars and clubbing. There is no black neighborhood around Lincoln Park. So, this would be people going to the lake front from a few miles away. And its not just going there on the L. There is no L stop near the lake. These people went out of their way to go to a place they don’t live without easy transportation. Maybe the weather has got them going to the cool lake front. And maybe there was something criminal going on with so many women being shot in this story. It could be prostitution or drugs.

Lincoln Park is a decent area, parts are upscale. There's been an uptick in violence in the near North parts of Chicago. The gangbangers are mobile, they go where the money is.
