It is also where I have had most of my closest calls with being doored. Most of the time, Milwaukee's really not so bad. While I do subscribe to the "safety in numbers" argument. But breathe easier, timid near-northwest side denizens! As you can see, I focused primarily on the Logan Square, Avondale and West ...
