The entire business model of casinos is set up so on average most players will exit the bus with less cash than they got on with.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say here. The police cameras don't really prevent crime. They move it down a block.

It's perfectly reasonable to be paranoid about where you are when you know you're going to have large amounts of cash on hand.

I'm a white suburban boy and am not ashamed to say I do not feel comfortable in Chinatown at 3am.

I'm an old gypsy cab driver from the Bronx (and retired Chicago cab driver) and I would not feel comfortable in Chinatown at 3am -- or anyplace else in Chi-town at 3am except maybe at a heavy cross street bus stop.

Looking out the window from the 51st floor of a loop office building right now. How much will snow impact the Friday night crowds?

I decided not to go down in the snow yesterday, but I'll head in tonight. If anyone is in Chinatown for the 7:15, say hi!

Found this post in another thread about someone asking if chinatown was a safe neighborhood...
"Even being a black male I would be cautious walking in that area at night. She just needs to keep her eyes open at all times and she should be fine."
Its probably not racist but its quite ignorant to randomly make facts up. What lead you to the conclusion that Chinatown is a high crime rate area? Due to it being a popular tourist attraction, the city keeps a close watch on the crime rate and has an active police presence in the area. I believe the "killing" you referred to was a robbery attempt gone wrong where 2 black males followed 2 Chinese males onto a dark side street after exiting a casino shuttle. One of the victims died from head trauma after being violently horse collared and hitting the back of his head on the pavement.

In regards to taking the shuttle overall, you just need to be aware of your surroundings and try to look sad when you leave just in case there are lurkers. I don't take the shuttle but I know many people do - including a few regs.

I heard about that today too. A lot of speculation going on about it. I heard there's a petition to get her her job back but I do not see that happening.
