Changing perceptions.

Fifteen years ago I basically lived in Bucktown and it was largely a dangerous wasteland. Ten years ago I would've made fun of myself for living in Bucktown as the yuppies swarmed in. Now I live here again and love it, despite the yuppies. I put in plenty of time living in sketchy 'hoods all over Chicago. I'm OK with now living somewhere I can chill out and not feel threatened when I go for a walk.
