15 Illinois Streets Locals Warn You Not To Walk After 9PM

Chicago has around 1,900 miles of alleys — more than any city on earth. Which means every block has two streets: the one with lights, windows, and a name, and the one built with no eyes on it at all. This video breaks down 15 street conditions that decide how safe a walk actually is after dark — lighting gaps, blind corners, viaducts, vacant lots, and the one thing that predicts a bad street better than anything else. None of it is about who's on a street. All of it is about how the street itself is built, and what it's doing to you. Watch, and you'll never read a sidewalk the same way again. New safety breakdowns every week.
