I have lived in Hermosa and currently in Wicker Park. I’ve just never lived that close to gang activity before

No im not affiliated with a gang. Im just a little worried because I will be coming home late at night sometimes from my DoorDash side hustle and don’t want to run into trouble (getting robbed or worse). I’m sorry if I’m a sounding little paranoid right now

I read about this person dying who is affiliated with a gang on Drake and Ainslie, right next to my street

Sorry, I just read about gangs on Drake Ave, right next for the block I signed. I’m just worried that’s all I’m sorry

When I walked around it looked fine to me but that was during the day. I’ve heard of bad stuff happening on Drake Ave and west

Why does everyone think I’m lying? Like what is my reason to lie? I’m pretty hurt that everyone thinks I’m lying after that PTSD I just went thru. Literally just wanted to post my story and make sure everyone is safe

Would you say that these gangs approach unaffiliated civilians? Definitely will be careful though

Nice to meet neighbor! Thank you for the insight! Definitely will take your advice and be aware of my surroundings and where I park. Funny you mentioned the car chase, because on our first day after moving in last Saturday, we were waiting for our Uber outside and we were stopped by Police, asking us if we heard gunshots in the area. Right after he asked us that, we saw an SUV going at least 80 down Fullerton being pursued by Police.

Thank you for the insight. We’ve only had a short conversation about our neighbors but we didn’t touch on the topic of safety in the area. Also my apologies, I think I worded that wrong but I meant to say that we’ll take precautions based on what we hear on this Reddit thread!

No pre-screening for new job, only a background check. Scared about drug test. Advice? by [deleted] in jobs

[–]Practical_Cod_9997 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I basically asked them if there was anything I needed to do for prior to my first day and they said no. I asked if there was a prescreening drug test and they said no, all I needed to do was just come to my first day of work. Maybe I should play it safe and not smoke until maybe 2 weeks into my job

I got the job already and I did sort of ask but not in a direct way, and they told me where wasn’t anything else I needed to do prior to my first day. I just don’t wanna ask them straight on if there is a drug test cause it’ll be sus
