Spent a lot of time around congress and Kilbourne back in 2011 when I was a heroin addict. I've been clean now for over 10 years but man oh man that place is a whole different world.
I lived on the west side from 1965-1979, then we moved to the south side. I enjoyed my time there. We didn't have gun violence back then like today. So glad my generation didn't experience that.
From throwing news papers at 9 to riding on Ice cream trucks and working at 14 to driving at 18 and whatever comes inbetween all the mess come from drug fights some domestic
Actually, it looks in pretty good shape. Lots of people on the street, cars parked along the streets, stores open. Take a look at some of the Detroit videos if you want to see urban decay. Other than vacant lots, not much signs of that in this neighborhood. Of course, it's not the night time.
I LIVED IN CHICAGO FROM 1957- 1979. I love my city. But the violence is awful now .. my grandson have never lived in Chicago, but they know all about O BLOCK. 63rd etc.. from reading bout the violence
Grew up there and miss certain aspects of that place. Now I live in Oklahoma. Too bad much hasn’t improved, yet the homes are really expensive now so I guess the plan is to price the poorest groups out.
Now you are going at a nice speed, we can see the areas. Like I said before, My home town. Only born and raised on the South side 47th and Federal. Lived on 79th and May , and Cabrinie Green..
Chicago neighborhoods are not just dangerous but it's very " good hoodies." It's good being in places where it's never a dull moment..minus the violence. I know I make it my business to visit any so-called ghettos, hoods, slums, as tributes. ✊🏾👊🏾🖕🏾👍🏾🤲🏾🤝🏾
Thank you. About a year ago I had a chance to briefly talk to a female police officer who works at East Garfield Park and she said that there are were 8 or 9 sets "operating" in West Garfield Park area and that they have quite sophisticated system of selling drugs. She also mentioned that working there was considerably more challenging than working in her area; however, East Garfield Park wasn't a "walk in the park" either.
@@drivingdude8849 Yeah police officers must have things to say about all theses area, its like 65 homicide last year thats crazy for like 30k people, thanks for all these good videos
I don't know. I have been hearing about investing in these neighborhoods for decades and so far everything has failed miserably. A lot of money have been spent and there is nothing to show in the end.
I’m an average white guy and I walk around this area daily. It’s not that dangerous. The numbers make it seem like it is but it’s almost always b on b crime
West Garfield park alone has 40 homicides and over 208 ppl shot so far this year. Minneapolis is soft compared to that… the 11th zone police discrict on the Westside had more homicides than the entire city of Minneapolis.
My baby daddy was killed at night he was walking back to his friends car and someone followed him, robbed him (not sure when the robbery occurred before during or after) shot him multiple times from the back. Cops came pretty quick to the scene. This happened on January 7 2021. He’s missed by soo many, we still don’t know who did it but I pray whoever did it haunts them forever. He was too nice for these streets ♥️ I wish he never had left that night. But then again if we knew our loved one was going to die then there wouldn’t be a lot of deaths. At least that’s what I tell myself just to stay sane. Rest In Peace babe 💜 ( yes that’s him on the picture) ismael Carrillo 💕
@@juniorcarrillo4213 Damn sorry for your loss, the evil walking the streets has zero regard for anything but their selfish agenda, like were in a 3rd world country. There is a higher power that will destroy those people eventually, just know that they committed a crime against themselves also.

Congratulations! I've heard that heroin habit is one of the hardest to quite. Again... congratulations!
Still rockin too. Pulaski from Jackson to Polk
Congrats god bless you 🙏🏾

Nice to hear! But you've always had guns in USA! You mean that these areas were actually safe back then?
@@danielrsson2171 he said "not like today"
I stayed their until I was 18 had fun every single day!

Good for you!
Lived in Chicago from 1965-73 South Hamilton Ave across from Hoyne park,,,,loved the old neighborhood..
It is still nice and the houses are still there.
@@drivingdude8849 Hoyne park neighborhood is far from nice anymore. .Those days are over until the Chinese buy everything up.
Drive by Garfield Park Conservatory....stunning !!
I love Garfield Park Conservatory and the whole park.
BIG 4K , From Carroll and Pulaski🤞🏾‼️ Pridefully
JACKSON AND PULASKI TOO ‼️🤞🏾

I absolutely agree with you. The Chicago's hood looks much better than Baltimore, Philadelphia, or Detroit.
Yes and a lot of buildings are being bought by Mexicans and Chinese
Detroit is no comparison to any part of Chicago.
@@robertk6640 Detroit is a real shithole .... Chicago just getto fabulous
Why y'all speak on Detroit in every video that has nothing to do with Detroit?

Michelle Obama-Robinson is a girl from O-block. She lived there for first 18 months of her life.
Grew up there and miss certain aspects of that place. Now I live in Oklahoma. Too bad much hasn’t improved, yet the homes are really expensive now so I guess the plan is to price the poorest groups out.
There are a lot of nice houses in WGP. I like to drive in that area especially during summer time.

Do you still live in Chicago?
I use to live on 80th and may
@@chiville165 It is Auburn Gresham area, right?
@@drivingdude8849 yes. Down the street from where Calumet high school use to be.
@@chiville165 I am not that well familiar with the south side but I more less know major neighborhoods.
Austin is dangerous, Lawndale, Woodlawn, Auburn Gresham, Kenwood , Bronzeville........I'm from Chicago
I would say that Lawndale, West Garfield Park, and Englewood are probably the worst. Of course, the rest isn't far behind.
i like how you cross Eisenhower at 11:11
Thank you... 😎

It isn't just the hood... even downtown area isn't safe anymore despite noticeable police presence.
@@drivingdude8849 The North Side as far out as West Rogers Park is now dangerous. Bullets flying around 3100 W. Touhy a couple of days ago
Maypole use to be my hang out
The late 80s early 90s it was much more dangerous. There’s hardly anyone out on the block these days
Yes, I heard that it was considerably worse in the past.
I don't doubt the dangerous part but 95% of what I saw here was clean streets, maintained properties and people minding their own business.
Actually, the hood in Chicago looks quite nice.
No words huh...just a drive
Sometimes no words are needed.
Kind of weird
Well, all driving videos are rather silent.
@@supasav6667it's not weird
What set is in? Nice vid btw

Oh yes... Chicago's cops have a lot of stories to tell. No question about it.
I work right here on California and fulton Bro, cool.
Stay safe my friend... 😎
Do you wonder if these neighborhoods will Redevelop?
I don't know. I have been hearing about investing in these neighborhoods for decades and so far everything has failed miserably. A lot of money have been spent and there is nothing to show in the end.
Eye live right there!!!... awesome!!!... aww but then you turned on Pulaski before you got to me...smh
Stay safe my friend.
You need some commentary my boy
Sometimes no words are needed... 🎥
We not from 63"d
I know... stay safe my friend.

But the bodies are still dropping in WGP.
..Do you live around there or are you buyin blows from the Lords?
West Garfield Park looks safer than a lot of areas of Minneapolis. 🔫
That may be true.
this hood has more shootings and murders than any Minneapolis hood it’s a fact
That's because the West side of Chicago is not as violent as the South side. Its Mostly Drug spots.

Where's the danger,???
Looks like another boring Chicago neighborhood.
You don't know? The danger hides behind every corner in Chicago? 🐱👤
Lol come and walk around here at night buddy and you'll find out.
@@jvill1063 Exactly.

Definitely a stay away area
There are some safer areas in WGP but one has to be careful there.
