Weather | | How much crime? | | What are the neighborhoods like? | | What are the people like? |
Being in Illinois, the weather is pretty standard. Hot and humid in the summer, and very cold in the winter. There are thunder storms and tornadoes that pass through, so having a basement is a good thing.
| | Well, you have the Vice Lord Nation gang, that rivals with the Latin Kings and yes, they kill innocent people to assert their power. Located in the apartments around washington park ave is a good place to avoid after dusk. | | Well if you like a town rich in spanish culture Waukegan is the place for you. But know that with it in this close to Chicago location is noted for very high crime and rival gangs. | | They are not friendly unless you are a female who enjoys being sexually harassed or threatened in order to do what they want you to do. Guys try to hit on the ladies by playing them songs like " I want to get you pregnant by R. Kelly," as if that's supposed to be breathtaking while theyre playing the same song to 100 different ladies. You're better off keeping to yourself with family and people you know. Thats how Illinois runs. |
Downtown Area | | Restaurants | | Schools | | Single life |
The downtown is great, located minuets from Lake Michigan. As long as you are not black or Mexican, you can assure that you will be harrassed by one in order for them to claim you on their side. People avoid down town unless they are part of the jail system, also located in the little down town, or they are mexican coming onto black turf to claim someone or something. | | The Paragon Restraunt @ 2101 Grand Avenue Waukegan, IL, 60085 is amazing. JUST DONT ORDER THE SEA FOOD!~ and Wing Street 2800 Belvidere Rd in Waukegan is the second best place to eat. great prices and great food. Just dont try to work there unless you want to be sexually harassed. | | I dont know... can your children speak spanish? Are they already gang affiliated? If so on both they have a chance for survival. The teachers play a role in this, but I dont think they care enough about their students to make the necessary difference that they are capable of because they are to busy thinking about that $$ and themselves instead of their city. | | Pleanty of opportunities for singles if you are the type to have multiple partners or be with someone who does, cause 99% of people here are players. The more partners, the more pimp they are to their buddies. |
Noise | | town comparison vs. | | Best hospital | | Tourist attractions |
Unusual noise is roosters crowing in the morning or mexican music being played loud. (5am) Durring the week. Other noises include... none. | | It comaairs pretty close to any city in Illinois that is close to Chicago. Westchester, thugs and criminals, Waukegan, the same, go down south in Chicago, it only gets worse. I wouldnt recomend Chicago to anyone who wants to live a wholesome life free of crime and thugs. | | I wouldnt go to a hospital in Waukegan. I'd go to any other. I went to the emergency place to have a tooth removed, they charged me over 200.00 and didnt even remove the whole tooth, leaving me with an infection and horrible pain. I had to go out of town to have it fixed. | | The nicest places to visit in Waukegan IL are my bubble bath, my bedroom, my bathroom, living room, (sometimes) and lake michigan during the summer as long as there are not alot of people. |
General comments | | | | | | |
My general impression is Mexico in the middle of Chicago where the hispanic hate the blacks, and they have their line that neither race crosses, and anything that isn't that, they try to claim to their turf, then fight after dusk to make their claims of property, including you. If you dont speak spanish you may want to avoid shopping in any stores in Waukegan because most stores are ran by people who dont speak english. My first attempt at shopping at the local mall ended in me getting ripped of by the business owenr for a phone I could have gotten online for less then 20 dollars, and this person knew it was the last of my money and took me for all of it. charged me 60.00 for a phone that cost less then 20.00 and then they promised me minuets on it if I waited, and I did. then they denied me those minuets after robbing me.
