If I told you the town I lived in would, you believe that would you believe everything I wrote was true? Would you say this to yourself, "I would have to see this to believe it?. Most of the time when I mention where I live people say things like "where", or "that sounds far away", or even go as far to say "you live by all dem white people. Well the city I live in call Steger. It's in between south Chicago Heights and Crete. Some have heard of some have not. When you ride past it looks like a nice, quiet, peaceful place to live. But remember the old saying "looks can be deceiving", and I'm here to tell you that they are.
