- The 63rd Street is one of the main roads on the southside of Chicago. It runs through many neighborhoods like Woodlawn, Washington Park, Englewood, West Englewood, Chicago Lawn, West Lawn and so on.

A few viewers asked for doing "legendary" 63rd Street... here it is.
Back in the day, 50 to 60 years ago, 63rd and Kedzie was the downtown of the Southwest Side. Now, it seems that most of the buildings there are either torn down or abandoned. My mom and grandmother used to go shopping there all the time.
When they put that giant statue of an Indian on top of the building at 63rd & Pulaski, more than a few of us thought it was in bad taste, and an eyesore. Now it appears to be something of a landmark.
Chicago is much bigger now than it was back then.
I like your videos, because I lived many years and worked in Chicago. I now live in California, but my best years were spent in Chicago and the suburbs.
Thank you 👍👌👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you. Chicago is beautiful city and so is California with its 9 national parks and so many other places to see.
What a trip down memory lane. Right near the end they passed 63rd and Kolin. I lived at 59th and Kolin. When I was 3 years old and just arrived in the neighborhood I wandered off and ended up at the drug store that was on the corner of 63rd and Koilin. The guy who owned the drug store who looked like Clark Kent found me and called the cops. They picked me up and took me to the police station where eventually my parents showed up to claim me. The cops gave me ice cream and it was all good. I joined the Air Force in 1968 and ended up in California. Thanks for the video it was great.
I am glad you like it.
I appreciate your video but this was so heartbreaking to watch as I can remember these neighborhoods were so VIBRANT in the1959s, 60s and 70s.
Thank You So Much For This Video, it Brings Back So Many Memories Good Times.
I am glad you liked it. I just wish that the weather ware a bit better when I was filming it.
@@drivingdude8849 oh yes Exactly.
Sun makes a huge difference... ☺
@@drivingdude8849 Yes I Know😃
Be careful out there. 63rd street in some areas is NOT safe after sundown....just be aware of things as you drive. ❤
You are right and I don't go there when it is dark outside.
Half of 63rd is Mexican. The Southwest side is alright. It gets instantly better west of the train track/Central Park Ave
O yes, definitively. It is quite noticeable.
I live in Bridgeport now but still crave Palermo’s on 63rd & Hamlin. When I go, I usually take Halsted south to 63rd and 63rd west. You’re not lying, literally as soon as you hit that viaduct, it’s a very noticeable difference.
Grew up on 63rd and Francisco. Was just there sunday. Nothing has changed, looks worse actually.
@@drivingdude8849crazy how blx can destroy a neighborhood and eachother but Mexicans restore and bring businesses.
63rd and Wallace Street is the corner where the legendary killer H. H. Holmes had his "Murder Castle".
Read the "Devil in the White City"!
There is a US Postal Office on the corner where Holmes had his "Murder Castle."
I will as soon as I have some time.
@@drivingdude8849 Thank you.
The Holmes Murder Castle was demolished around 1940 to be replaced by a post office.
@@er3ichuff335 Allegedly, the post office there is haunted.
63rd st in Englewood is dangerous. Butbyouncan tell at one time there was a shopping corridor there. Last time I went by there, it was very desolate. Like a post apocalyptic movie set.

Yes, 63rd Street is dangerous. But I think it looks better now than it did in the past.
💯 I've done deliveries there and saw whole blocks without street lights! It feels erie asl at night. Like a horror movie set
@@justdrive5327 Clearly, you must be an adventurous type.
Looks pretty nice
It doesn't look that bad compared to other big cities.
LOL. wow theres nothing left . accually its really nice compaired to 15 ,20. 30 years ago. Its realy cleaned up well. Gentrification spreading very fast accross all African American neighborhoods.
It is what it is...
4:10- My DULLES!!
4:55- They tore down the 220 building where I lived as a kid, between Indiana and Prairie.
8:10- I almost missed Englewood High 🦅 “Englewood, up to no good” lol, because of the hospital (wasn’t there back then).
What happened to the El station on Halsted??
I didn’t go west of Ashland then. It was at my own risk.
Thanks, driving dude!!
I am glad you liked it. You clearly seem to know 63rd quite well.
I think it's "Inglewood...up to no good" cos' lyrics from Cali' and Inglewood's in Los Angeles.
@@terrycarthy4433 But our "Englewood... up for o good" too. You can absolutely trust me on this. 😎😎
@@drivingdude8849 ; yes...I'm aware of its reputation.
@@terrycarthy4433 👍
My old neighborhood. What a dump now.
What type of camera are you using?
Sony FDR AX53
Man 63rd st is one long street isn't it. Do you plan on doing back of the yards neighborhood any time soon
I will try sometime next week. I was also thinking about doing Marquette Rd. The main problem right now is that the days are so cloudy.
Imagine doing a nighttime version of this!!! 🗡🚑
Actually, I am thinking about doing evening version of it someday.
@@drivingdude8849 You would be risking your life in Englewood.
@@hiway51biker If I stayed only on 63rd St. at a reasonable time (let's say around 8 pm) I think I should be ok.
@@drivingdude8849 Yeah I agree - it's some of those side streets & alleys that can be sketchy! Always watch & enjoy your videos & look forward to more! Ever thought of doing one circling the main roads around O'Hare like Touhy (North side), River Rd. (East side), Irving Park (South) & York Rd (West side)? Thank You!!
@@hiway51biker Actually, I did think about it. I will try to do it soon if the weather is relatively nice. Sun light makes a huge difference in this kid of videos. So we will see how it goes but I definitively have it on my mind.
Isn't the infamous O Block on this street?

20:32 Entering the 'good' side of 63rd, West Lawn. Chicago's segregation is full display. Majority Mexican
I heard that there are some Polish people living in the area around Midway airport.
@@drivingdude8849 There sure are - I know some Polish families living around there. Some of them own homes back in Poland as well as here in Chicago.
@@hiway51biker In Clearing, The western part of Midway Airport there's still alot of Poles, but it's getting new arrivals, mostly Mexicans and Ukrainians. So change is happening. That neighborhood is safest part of 63rd. Zero homicides i believe and i don't think they've had one in years
@@justdrive5327 Thanks for the info & good to know!
That is where I grew up. 1978-1989. Completely different neighborhood now. Makes me sick.
