walking chicago: a windy city atlas

Walking in the city has an element of transgression because you always have to be aware of your surroundings. No matter what part of Chicago you are in, there is always a possibility of danger. There are a lot of people in Chicago, so it may be possible that there is something sketchy going on or there is a person you do not feel comfortable being near. The relationship between risk and safety is: the less risk you take, the more safe you are and vise versa. It is more safe and less risky if you walk with a friend, do not out late at night, or are in an area that you know. You should always take any precautions so that it is safer for you to go walk. It is very easy to get lost in the city, so you should either go somewhere you know or keep your phone on you in case you need to use a GPS app to figure out where to go. (169)
