North Pulaski Rd, Garfield Park

Pulaski Road has seen better days. When we were kids it was called Crawford, I think it got named after a war hero of some sort, or a general. As it comes up from Madison and toward Chicago Avenue, Division and Armitage, it goes through some very, very rough areas. There are a lot of fly by night businesses and parts of it, as with Chicago Avenue, have surveillance cameras. When you get a little bit further north than say Belmont, it improves a bit; there is shopping and there are some homes. A lot of formerly bustling factories were here and are now closed down. I wouldn't say don't drive through there, but for the most part I'd stay away from a lot of North Pulaski after dark.
