You learn something new everyday I goggled why Chicago has so many alleys and here’s my answer!!! Chicago has 1,900 miles of alleys, more than any other city in the United States, making it known as the "alley capital" of the country. Alleys have been a part of Chicago since its founding and are an integral part of the city's identity:
@@dive2drive314 Good question 🙋 here’s the answer!! 👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇Chicago's alleys are an integral part of the city for many reasons, including: Utilities Alleys allow for the installation of wires and other utilities without obstructing views or fire trucks. Trash collection Alleys are essential for collecting trash, delivering coal, and storing human waste, keeping unpleasant things away from living areas. Access Alleys provide shortcuts for pedestrians and access to the backsides of lots. Garages Alleys allow for garages to be located off the street, eliminating the need for driveways that break up the sidewalk. Fire break Alleys provide a fire break between structures, preventing flames from spreading easily. Airflow and light Alleys allow for supplementary circulation airflow and light on the backside of buildings. Community space Alleys can be a creative and community space, and can be transformed into a kind of urban wilderness. Observation Alleys can be a good place to observe people and wildlife from your apartment window or back porch.
I been to Oblock like 5 years ago bro, walked through there and did an interview with some youth there a couple years ago. How did you miss all that ? You can't even get in there now with all the security.
Those dark alleys in Chicago have echos of demon ghosts. People that got killed. Like the Grudge and Ju-on. Stay out of there Charlie. You feel dread and lose your cool easily in those alleys
1 Corinthians 7:34 There is difference also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married careth for the things of the world, how she may please her husband.
Living on the north side of Chicago for almost 10 years its absolutely insane to me how much things can change in a matter of 5 miles.
True !
Close to a million subs i remember when this channel was small good job

If we didn't have any alleys we'll look like NYC 😂
@@chination1796 you know what you got a point that’s what makes the two cities different!!
But why was it an integral part of the cities identity? There has to have been a good reason for them

Even the ghetto of Chicago has better roads than the nicest towns in Massachusetts
fuck roads which 1 is more dangerous and who dies more
@@GMONEYGIFTED sometimes I think I’d be happier risking being shot than bouncing over mass roads
@GMONEYGIFTED 😂
@@GMONEYGIFTEDYou do, from car crashes. Google it. No cap. Car crashes take more lives than gun violence 💯
Chicago is nice but during winter brrrrrrrr.No thanks.
