Chicago Crime

The real estate website Trulia has created a map using local crime statistics in major cities to see what areas of cities are “safer” then others.  I found it very interesting to look at a particular area of downtown Chicago:

It’s fascinating to me that the area of green in the middle of all the red is the campus of Moody Bible Institute.  The realist in me says that’s because its mostly a closed campus, there is 24 security patrols, blah blah blah.  But the idealist in me wants to say that it’s the influence of Christ, the effects of prayer.  Maybe it’s both…either way I think it’s cool!
