Jeez, GN. I grew up in Lincolnwood. I hung out in west rogers park. I stayed away from drugs, but they were there, including in Lincolnwood. A lot.of my Linclnwood peers were from very prominent rich families but became serious druggies. I hated lincolnwood, by the way. Liked rogers park and evanston a lot more. Im allergic to money snobs 
Weird that we grew up nearby then moved to similar areas in wisconsin.
