Can't speak for Elliot Park, but I have a brief internship at Abbott
Northwestern hospital on Chicago Ave. Since the train-to-work program takes
place on Chicago Ave at Franklin St, four blocks north of the work site, it
means parking at the parking lot on Franklin and walking down the four
blocks through that particular part of the Phillips neighborhood. At least
one of the people in the program is a white woman. When a fight broke out
in front of a church involving two people in one of the at-risk youth
program, she was the one who saw it first and said "we cross the street now
rather than later."
