Its crazy seeing how gritty the city was back then. I mean its still not that clean in certain parts, but in the Gentrified parts of the city its like night and day difference compared to even 10 years ago. Bro, you got any old footage of jewtown and maxwell street?
Great old videos. Brings back old memories. Joe Butera (Pac-Man) had some old videos too. Good stuff. I remember when Gangs were referred to as Clubs! Sweaters and all. Wonder if you ran with Gaylords or PVP’s?
@@danielcampbell9457 separate nation, the Stoned Freaks were a real force to be reckoned with… White Monks not so much, I have to say I only heard of the White Monks because one of my Chi-West OG’s brother ran with them in the 1970’s.
@ you hit kostner, Cicero, Laramie and armitage is grand. Call it 10 but to me that’s not far at all. We used to ride our bikes to Pulaski when we were like 8 and I’m not playing, my cousins lived thru those hoods.
@@westlove1226in car with no traffic that is 5 minutes bro I’m born and raised in humbolt park Logan square if it not traffic and u catch the light Cicero and kostner n Keller it could be 5 minutes just saying bro
@ imma just drop it, not worth arguing about… I truly wish it was 5 minutes, I had to take that route to Humboldt Park for quite some time, Armitage was always backed up because of stop signs and red lights.
It use to be,now maybe a couple of scrubs hang out if that,white people moving back in,I have a sister on kedvale and armitage it's been years since I seen someone hangout
@@INSANESWORLD6 I live a mile west of this gas station, they just killed a neutron motorcycle stunt shorty, you know…one of them dirt bike kids. But you are correct it ain’t like it used to be. I will say it’ll be a couple more decades before it gentrifies.
I was born in the 80’s. In Chicago. These videos they just bring back so many memories as a kid. I really appreciate you finding and uploading them
Didn’t expect that 🌑
Just might've been the Almighty G@ylords
Look at the flyer for JM Silk performing at the Rainbo for Sat May 24th.

Impressive gas prices
At that same time in Texas I remember paying 77cents a gallon 😁
I thought the same thing when I saw it. I graduated high school in 1986. I do not remember what I paid in them days! Lol
This video brings bk good memories of my childhood in the Chi❤️

who did the white monks go at it with in those days?
Imperial Gangsters of Kelvyn Park
@@westlove1226 was it serious or just some fist fight shit,
@@danielcampbell9457 mostly fist fights yep, the ones who really were applying pressure the Cobras and IG’s over there were the Stoned Freaks.
@@westlove1226 were the stoned freaks a faction of the monks? or there own seperate thing.

By 1994 that hood was reckless. It was still nice in 86, I was 11 and lived on grand and Laramie 5 minutes way
@@mrpep1976 Grand & Laramie isn’f 5 minutes away from there… more like 10.

@ I live near Grand & Laramie rn, I’m just saying it ain’t 5 minutes away to Armitage & Pulaski… unless you mean it as a figure of speech.

Nice video...
No cobras were further up by north Ave and Pulaski
@danteduck9518 okay 👍
Why the music
@@nicholasheath8995 why not the music… great song in my opinion.
First guy should have gotten arrested.
I like the history of this video but I don’t like the backround music
@@nicholasheath8995 what’s wrong with Cruel Summer…? Seems fitting does it not?
