A suburb of Chicago located about 30 miles south of the city. Mostly known for its prisons, even though the main prison is now closed, and Statesville is in Crest Hill. Known mostly as a ghetto town, but that is mostly downtown and the east side. The west side is where mostly white middle class people live, and a couple of black people. But vandalism can be an occasional issue on the west side (Mostly cars being egged). East side is mostly Mexicans and blacks. All in all, Joliet is your typical city with areas that are better than others. The far west side of the city is often confused as the neighboring village of Plainfield.
Person 1- Your moving to Joliet, Illinois? That's such a ghetto!
Person two- Actually, I'm moving to the west side, which is far much nicer than the east side, also known as the ghetto.
Person 1- Oh...
