The damp, heavy air of Southside Chicago’s Black Partridge Woods presses against the trees. Shadows stretch long and thin as you stand in the familiar underbrush—a sanctuary from another locked door at home. The silence is thick, broken only by the rustle of leaves and the low hum of distant traffic. Another night seeking refuge among the Gallaghers.
