Thanks. At first glance, it appears the brown line is
the line for good pizza. If I don't walk over, MerchMart is the stop I take for Lou's, you've confirmed that it's the one (or one of them) for Bacino's, and a quick map glance shows me that it may be the one for CPaOG posted above.

I've walked around those and other neighborhoods at all hours alone and never had a problem, but on the other hand I know a couple people who were robbed at gunpoint in the middle of Lincoln Park. So yes, odds are one could walk anywhere and be fine - but it's still a big city and one should exercise big city precautions.
Always the truth. The hardest part is knowing which neighborhoods to avoid completely.
Here's a completely random thought/tip for travelers to any place where they will be using an underground mass transit - bring a compass. by the time you actually get back to the street, you will probably have no idea where N/S/E/W is. A quick glance and you're good to go.
