Driving Aimlessly in Chicago's Deadliest Neighborhood in 2021 - North Lawndale

- North Lawndale is one of the 77 community areas of the city of Chicago, Illinois, located on the its West Side. Historian Paul Street, citing a 2001 demographic study by Claritas Inc., wrote that more than 70% of men aged 18-45 residing in North Lawndale had criminal records.
Tragically, six weeks before the end of 2021, it appears that North Lawndale is going to be the deadliest neighborhood in Chicago. The competition for the top spot has been fierce this year with Englewood coming as close second.
you say it like its a game....
@@Mikey-sp1zz It is what it is. Personally, I don't own a gun.
Chicago needs a Marshall Plan. The impoverished criminal element has destroyed the west side and south side and now they're trying to take over the whole city and destroy it. The mayor should take some of that millions she's stockpiling and pay the gangs to leave the city.
@@Chicago48 I agree with you 100% except for "impoverished" part. I am not so sure about that.
No it's not
My old neighborhood 65 years ago. It was a good place back then. It looks depressing now.
Yes, it does. And I doubt anything is going to change for the better anytime soon.
@Ellis James are you kin to now deceased Fred James of Chicago? His parents were from Louisiana originally.
The last time I drove through there it was actually scary. Like I was in a different world.
One needs to be careful in that area... no question about it.
unfortunately it more or less is a different world, nearly abandoned and forgotten by the rest of the city
I bet you shit your pants when you saw those two brothers walking towards your car😂
Dude, you are projecting...
This drive gave me the Irvington, edge of Newark NJ, feeling! Great drive and thank you for doing stuff like this for us. As someone from the hood who LOVES driving through it and neighboring hoods (and the hood in general,‘ im from Paterson), I truly appreciate this.
Thank you and I am glad you liked it. Have you seen my video from Englewood?
Lmao as someone who lives in Chicago but whose mom is in Newark, I relate. Her part of Newark (Ironbound) is remarkably safe but a lot of the rest of Newark is rough, and Irvington might be worse...I remember picking up tacos in Irvington not knowing about the area and ending up in a really bad vibe type of spot lmao
Right off the bat, some car blew two red lights.
It happens quite often in North Lawndale.
Impressed by the architecture, I mean to imagine it renovated and in good shape, (which some are)
I agree with you... in Chicago even the hood is architecturally appealing. A lot of really nice houses out there.
Some buildings hold a lot of history, like my family building on 72nd & Calumet, it's sad most people can't afford the repair or upkeep cost.
Yes, it is sad.
It makes Atlanta look like a sh*t hole.
@@randyosborne310 I plan on visiting Atlanta next year.
You best believe it's better than walking
No doubt my friend
I drive rideshare in Chicago, had one too many sketchy experiences driving late in Lawndale at night to do it that much anymore. Saddens me because there are good lots of people in Lawndale.
Sorry to hear that but I am hardly surprised. Stay safe my friend!
Rolling west side....Native Southsider, but I have family all over including West side. Those buildings have stood the test of time and with $$$ would be beautiful. But we also need those working, caring, industrious individuals to maintain and grow. Chi is a big, interesting city to roll...AT THE RIGHT TIME and fill your ga$ tank in the burbs.
Thanks for sharing...
I grew up in north lawndale! my hood frfr!
Tough place to grow up.
Chicago reminds me of the great Roman empire, what was once a shining jewel, is now too vast to support its-self.
Keep in mind that Chicago has been the most corrupt city in America for decades including 2021.
@@drivingdude8849 For me, Chicago has been the crime capital of Illinois for a century 1920 til 2020.
@@luislaplume8261 East St. Louis has been the crime capital in Illinois for quite a while.
Chicago does have a certain charm to it.
No question about it.
ktown check in!!
I will... definitively.
Those vacant corner lots are the kill zones.
Holy City
Chicago is still amazing city despite raging crime.
Excellent old buildings.
Yes, even in the worst parts of Chicago the architecture is still nice.
Holy city 16th Trumbull
I live in North Lawndale, it's not that bad. There are a lot of really nice people in my building!
I believe you that a lot of nice people live in North Lawndale. But it is not safe.
The neighborhood is getting better, especially the East Side.
How abt a drive thru K-Town (Cermak Rd. from Pulaski to Kostner) My ol' stomping ground!
Arwita, you are the second person asking about K-Town. I will do it on Sunday so it should be published on TH-cam around next Wednesday.
Can’t afford to demolish. You can see the the inside of these magical homes
They stopped tearing buildings down about 25 years ago. Before that even Louis Sullivan buildings were demolished.
This is why Uber Eats surge is around $5 at night in these areas tryna get me killed...oh don't worry you gon get a tip aight.....a Hollow Tip 🤣
Stay safe my friend... wherever you decide to go.
@@drivingdude8849 thanks bro you stay safe filming as well... blessings 👏🏿
Thank you.
Looks far better than Kensington Phliadelphia in 1983. Or today.
I don't think there is another place like Kensington in America.
Fix up one of those Brownstones real nice and just chill
As an investment it would make sense but I wouldn't like to live there.
This popped up on my recommendation list 😬🤣
I wonder how they are all affording that super Property Tax Increase, my city is broke beyond repair , 10 to 15 years from now you will wonder how people are surviving in that city .
lol this dude is breathing fast
You never know how many breaths you have left in that neighborhood. 😎
I had this in 2x speed and I was smh half the video tryna figure out what that noise was so I went ta the comments
@@tonipepperoni3424 Actually, it was a combination of engine and air conditioning sound. I started using external microphone which helps to reduce its level.
@@drivingdude8849 I was thinking that it sounded a bit like the engine making weird noises so I guess I was right
I love the west side but city officials or even people that's a part of the Lawndale community need to invest in their neighborhood- I think Lawndale have a lot of potential to become a better place to live, unfortunately; people in the Lawndale community (Blacks)have to vacate/relocate elsewhere in order for the neighborhood to become a better place to live.
I grew up in Chicago. I wish you would my neighbor 1043 n st . Louse ave. ❤❤
Some time next month...
Notice the police presence!!!!
I would say that Police is doing decent job in Chicago.
This hood still looks fairly decent for a hood. In other cities across the US hoods look like 3rd world slums with trash everywhere and people living in cardboard boxes
Generally, the hood looks "fairly decent" in Chicago (perhaps with exclusion of Englewood and a few other areas) but it doesn't mean it isn't dangerous. Just yesterday (Nov 17, 2021) a man, 32, was fatally shot in Lawndale (1100 block of S. Keeler Ave.) about 12:45 a.m.. He was pronounced dead at Mount Sinai Hospital. No one was in custody.
Just how can you defend this?
Not in Omaha, Nebraska
@@fredwilliams6047 Omaha is a nice, quiet city. I have been there twice and would love to visit it again.
@@drivingdude8849 Yes, it has a mixture of city and country charms without the hassles of the city. Living in Chicago for over 30 years made it hard for me to leave, I really loved the city but felt like the changes to the city Hyde Park for example were bad it lost its home like feeling and replaced it with more of a rushed corporate hollow feel it looks great, but it's empty on the inside.
What camera mount do you use?
I have designed and built my own made of wood board and aluminum shoe plate adapter. I attach it to dashboard by 8 removable 12" bungee cords. You can get these things at Amazon.
Honestly the first thing that comes to mind when I see this is a University town. Not to downplay what goes on here
The west side of Chicago is so removed from a "University town" it ain't funny.
I don't think it would be particularly good environment college students.
Are some parts of Chicago safe to raise your children sorry that i ask im all the way in Los Angeles California
There are some...
Absolutely. Don't trust all the Media capitalising on crime. Yes there are bad areas, like any city, but also safe areas where you'd be fine. Just do your research and talk to people who actually live there, rather than trusting anything written for views or clicks :)
Bro you drive there during night time then i might respect you bro 😂😂
It will surprise you but if I were to estimate how many times I drove in the hood during night time I would say it was definitively over 100 times. PEACE!
My block rite on 16 get real dangerous Holy city ALMVN
Stay safe my friend!
Looks better than bmore
It does look better than Baltimore. Actually, Chicago's hood looks quite decent.
Chicago looks beautiful, its like a midwest Philly
Yes, Chicago does look beautiful.
It's beautiful if you like the picture of blood and shell casings
You mean LawNDaLe as in the scary LawNDaLe News free paper in Downtown Chicago reminds visitors Chicago is not just a tourist city
Chicago is a tourist city... no question about that but it isn't as safe right now as it used to be.
@@drivingdude8849 Sure isn't I love Chicago like I do my city of Cleveland things have gotten much worse crime wise here too even though tourist wise Cleveland is doing ok like Chicago
@@drivingdude8849 The first time I visited Chicago I had only New York to compare it to it was 2006 and everyone seemed so friendly and relaxed now when I visit there is definite tension in the air even in tourist areas
Even three years ago it was friendly and relaxed.
I plan on visiting Clevland soon. I heard it is beautiful city.
Doesn’t look dangerous !
I can assure you that it is dangerous.
Go to central in lake street
I am familiar with that place. And I agree... it is depressing.
Yo, that look like Linden...Brooklyn zoo.
It is bad.
You just going circles
I guess we could say that.
@@drivingdude8849 My friend I took those routes 20 years ago dropping off picking up and smoking weed 🤣👍
Would be more interesting if u drove at night. 🤔🤔 But . U'll be risking ur life
There was a time 1980s 1990s when I worked in these areas and yeah there was a risk me being white .but had few problems . Today differant story
I agree 100% with you.
Im a little late haha but did you mean it is worse now for white people or back then?
looks dry as hell out there. you should have gone when people were out. cool video tho.
It was filmed around 2 PM.
@@drivingdude8849 Its a cool video either way. Keep up the good work. Have you done Roseland?
Thank you. I went to Englewood today but will definitively keep Roseland in mind.
@@drivingdude8849 My friend, who recently passed away, lived in pullman near 116th and Langley. Very cool old neighborhood with lots of nice restored/historic rowhouses. But when you go east to the train tracks that is the dividing line with roseland, and you come across the viaduct where yummy sandifer got killed. You should do a video where you start off in pullman, and then highlight the immediate contrast as soon as you cross the tracks over into roseland. Same thing with fuller park/bridgeport. You go from irish social clubs and church parishes to straight burned out buildings once you pass under a single viaduct. My friend and I used to ride our bikes around there and film shit early in the morning.
That viaduct, where Yummy was actually murdered, has been blocked for years. I have been there a few years ago. I have been thinking about going to that area and I am glad you mentioned it... I will definitively keep it in mind.
coming from a third world country, everything in this video looks nice to me. I know its dangerous but can't help but wonder why it looks so good tho lol
Unlikely cities like Detroit, Philadelphia, Baltimore or Washington D.C. the "hood" in Chicago looks quite good. You can find a lot of nice houses even in most neglected areas of Chicago but crime rate is very high in those neighborhoods
Hey, is that the subway Juicy Smellzit was going to get his foot long,..never mind, he will get his foot long in jail...with special sauce.....W T F...................
The Subway, you are taking about, is in River North in downtown... 🤣
The algorithm will not let me identify who this video shamefully panders to.But.What ethnic group is most interested in a video of driving around a crime ridden neighborhood putting the people on display?What is there to see?
Actually, a little of each race. Even people in Pakistan and India.
It's not deadly it's what kinda person u are i ick it here and lie in the burbs lol
