I don't know about Harvey, but Dolton is absolutely horrible. I did some work for Union Pacific there a few years ago, (they have a big facility there) and that area is a total mess. Same goes for Riverdale, Dixmoor, Posen. It's kind of incredible to think these communities are a few minutes away from very affluent and cosmopolitan communities.
