There's one thing I know from living in a blue collar neighborhood, it's not a crime to be poor. Not all poor people are criminals, they live where they can afford to live and that's also not a crime.
My old neighborhood! Back in the ‘50s and early 60’s we used to go to The Tivoli movie theater. Very elegant in it’s day. My father is buried in nearby Oakwood Cemetery. So is gangster Big Jim Colisimo.
Man, the memories! I used to live right there on Prairie in what was known as the 220 building. I see all the projects are gone, Robert's Motel is gone; even Vito's grocery store is no more. At least the sign is still there! I remember being afraid to walk past the freight yard cause all the bums would be under the tracks, lol!
The history of Chicago was and still is based on segregation. It's painfully obvious who's suffered the brunt of this systemic discrimination after the post Civil Rights era. There was a paradigm shift at some point that allowed this area to become blighted and dilapidated. Moreover, it's City Hall's political Democratic policies. Based on hearing the conversation from you two, I'd venture to say that the long term goal here is to gentrify this area, given the fact that Hyde Park and the U of C is nearby. Twenty years from now, the area will blossom into a major centre of commerce and residential housing devoid of any African American residents. The wanton violence will stop because the future generations will either be locked away, move or be killed off. This is speculative at best but, I do believe that's ultimately the 'plan'.
Out of those grim outcomes you have prognosticated, move away sounds amazing. If you can't curve a community's violence problem, gentrification is best.. that goes for my Mexican peoples neighborhoods too over in pilsen and little village
I give respect to Zekas to trying to help all the communitues in the CHI. Im always over there and I can see in the future this area is going to change.On Cottoge Grove they torn down the low incoming housing and replacing.U of Chicago investment is coming in the area
What are you trying to say? If this is supposed to be a ghetto, it looks pretty good from my point of view! If you want to see a ghetto, take a ride through Kensington or North Philadelphia elevated lines! This looks pretty good! Are you kidding me? These homes in cottage grove look very nice, this is a ghetto? Where is the graffiti and the drug dealers, lol?
Is this 63rd and ST Lawrence where that blue chevy is at turning the corner at 2:11 in the time of this video where all the fellaz was chillin at on the blk
Seeing that guy ona porch at 7:15 made me wonder how long it takes him to get to a store n back it’s like they had COVID lockdowns way b4 COVID cuz of all the emptiness thats why their stores were bussin over there
@eaguir3 Look, I visited Chicago in "87 and "88, haven't been their since! I will say this I rode the Dan Ryan El to the end on the South side. Chicago has turned things around, I know Cabrini housing project is still very unforgiving, but it seems the city has a handle on it. What are we trying to do in America? It seems every one wants to push out the poor people! Some would say money talks and bullshit walks! However, most residents in these neighborhoods are hard working people!
I just wanna see what the downtown area is like & eat some deep dish 😂 that’s about it fam, then I’m gone. I already know it’s so much rich black history in Chicago.
This area is gentrifying now. Those beautiful old buildings are worth a fortune. So are those empty lots. That area is less than two miles from the lake, and less than a mile from Obama's house.
