I've lived on Vernon Hill for a year. We've had a number of shootings. None of them were random in the sense that it was not a random person being targeted. Which to me was reassuring. Seymor is a few streets away from mine.

I've never had a problem walking to or from the minimart at night or during the day.

Just be smart. And do normal things that you would normally do/not do when you live in a city. Lock your car doors. Maybe get a camera if you want the assurance. Don't walk around with large amounts of cash. Be friendly to your neighbors. Idk. Normal human shit.
