- Back of the Yards is an industrial and residential neighborhood so named because it was near the former Union Stock Yards, which employed thousands of European immigrants in the early 20th century. Life in this neighborhood was explored in Upton Sinclair's 1906 novel The Jungle. The area was formerly part of the town of Lake until it was annexed by Chicago in 1889. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the area was occupied largely by Eastern European immigrants and their descendants, who were predominantly ethnic Bohemian, Moravian, and Slovak.[2]
In the 1930s, the activist Saul Alinsky did community organizing in this area, as its people suffered during the Great Depression. This work led to his founding the Industrial Areas Foundation in 1940, which trained community organizers.[3]
Jane Jacobs, in her 1961 book The Death and Life of Great American Cities, cites the Back of the Yards as an area able to "unslum" in the 1960s, due to a beneficial set of circumstances. This included a stabilized community base with skilled members who were willing to trade work to upgrade housing, as well as active and well-led local social and political organizations. Jacobs often cited the Back of the Yards as a model for other depressed neighborhoods to follow to upgrade their communities.[4]
Some time after the 1970s, when the stockyard operations closed and the number of nearby jobs decreased, many people left to move to newer housing and work in the suburbs. The population of the neighborhood gradually reflected a new wave of settlement, predominantly Mexican-American.

According to what I read, the name originated because it was near the former Union Stock Yards, which employed thousands of European immigrants in the early 20th century.
It was a great neighborhood to grow up in in the 1950's. Now some of the people ruined it for everyone.
You literally going through hoods of about 8 gangs already..🤣🤣🤣 good thing all the gangsters are in class.. lmao 🤣🤣🤣
The businesses with "spanish" names or titles are mainly either Mexican or Puerto Rican, not Spanish. You will most likely never see a Spain flag anywhere.
Thank you for the tour @toon
You do not pronounce the s in Illinois.
Back of the Yards is named for "being in back" of the Union Stock Yards. The Amphitheater was part of the Stock Yards then Canaryville until boundaries changed and it is now part of Back of the Yards.
12:35 that’s insane no way you’ll hit a kid if someone drove like that smh.
Higher the crime, higher the speed bumps haha. They put those in to make drive byes harder for the gangs
Bro casually drove thru one of the deadliest gang war zones in Chicago
It’s not really that dangerous, I live near there, the shootings mostly happen at night
💥😌👌💥 Thankyou for the tour.
Chicago, always in a hurry, doesn't look that bad,but statics say different, thanks for 5he tour from Peoria Illinois
You won’t get carjacked or robbed you might get shot tho.
I remember I was with my uncle driving down saints hood, I saw 3 dudes all masked up outside the store on 45th and wood with AR15s in broad daylight lmao, them boys don’t give a fuck
Did you call the police hope you're alright
@@wisdomtriper405nah we quickly drove past them, they was throwing up the halo at everyone but we was cool, my uncle lives in saints hood so he knows people there
that circle thing is called a ROUNDABOUT toon lmao
Back of the Yards comes from back of the stocking yards. The area around it is still an industrial area.
Think of Chicago neighborhoods like this. Back of the Yards = neighborhood. New City = community area. Other neighborhoods can exist in community areas. Ex. Wrigleyvile, LakeView East are neighborhoods in Lakeview. Let me simplify it. Community area is like Chicago's boroughs. Except they're smaller and theres alot more. Another ex. Wicker Park, Bucktown, Ukrainian Village are all neighborhoods in West Town
Definitely confusing to non locals how some of the unofficial neighborhoods (Wicker Park, Wrigleyville, Bucktown, etc) are part of a larger official community area while other ones (Back of the Yards, Pilsen, West Rogers Park, etc) are basically just entire replacements for the official community area name in the area. Plus you've got divided areas like Rogers Park vs West Ridge, Englewood and West Englewood, etc that are often just thought of as one continuous neighborhood
What time of day is this?
Not sure shot over several months ago don't remember. 🙏
That's a crazy neighborhood TOON215 I'm from the Morgan Park Wild 100s !!!
Back of the yards got its name from the Chicago stock yards that was on the estate side of ashland
How the old neighborhood has changed 😢
Some of these blocks look like Paterson NJ but Back Of The Yards has more trees & less litter.
Got it! Except add the nightly echos of 'Saints love!'
The cement round things in the intersection are called round-a-bouts.
The name is because in the 1800 it was and still is home to slaughter houses in the stockyards based on 46th and Racine hence back of the yards (stockyards) didn’t u notice the stench closer to 47th and Racine
It actually starts from Pershing and Ashland down to 55th and Ashland from Oakley to halsted
Oakley is Gage Park still.
Back of the Yards dangerous asl especially if you a young male black or Hispanic Almighty Saints been running back of the yards i
Alot of shootings in this hood...July 4th someone got shot and killed on 44th and Wood.
Garages is in back of the house in Chicago
Don Cuco taqueria is the only place my daughter will eat tacos from.
people drive fast so they dont get shot
Damm some of those drivers have no patience even when you were driving normal speed people were still driving around u & cutting you off. I know NJ drivers are impatient but this place is worse.
I lived on 47th and Hoyne
"Illinoise" ? Is he for real with his pronunciation???
I can tell you're not from Chicago, by the way you pronounce the streets.
Yea people drive impatiently but remember.... It's also Chicago so most people wanna get in and out asap

I use to live there on 51st and Damen and 43rd Wood, like 20 years ago it was bad then, Time stamp 24:22/1:00:01 u passed my old house.
Being from Chicago i think the Austin area has more crime . Another bad area is south state st.
Being from Chicago and have visited Austin, Austin is like a suburbs compared to Chicago
@@BigDDDD370you sure you from Chicago? You never heard of Austin area in Chicago? And yeah they had more death than englewood a few years ago .
@@BigDDDD370 u do know Austin is Chicago right? When something happens who shows up? Not Austin Police it's CPD or nobody at all
Clean up the dead on Jefferson Harrison. Get more Sweet baby Ray's on 33rd and Ridgecrest. If you died trying to get to the top of any thing the struggle is real.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Thankfully I traveled all 48 states and slept in every state. Walked every city and documented over 400+ neighborhoods in 48 states within a period of 10 months. Chicago was chillin... I was probably crazier for walking Los Angeles California's skid row territory at night 12 am with 2 cameras. And all this other shit on my including money 🤣🤣🤣🙏 God is great. 💯 Chicago's where I got my face tatted.

This dude is a goofy. BOTY is 2 sections. Saints hood and razas hood. Better not spin the same block 2 times when mf are on security. And they almost always outside. U ain't safe just because it's early in the morning..
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Don't remember the time of day but I shot 17 videos in Chicago. None were morning. Several were Friday/Saturday right before the sun went down.
Alot of people told me the same about all the hoods I went through across the country. I hit all 48 states. Drove through some of the worst hoods in america. And some of the wealthiest most prestigious areas. Compton, Inglewood, watts(California-50 videos in Cali alone) Florida. Louisiana, Detroit, texas All times of day. All days of the week. 400+ videos in 10 months covering 48 states. Guess i got lucky.........time after time after time again. Believe me i wasnt focused on time of day i was shooting them back to back...God was with me and brought me back home to one of the worst hoods in america. KENSINGTON PHILADELPHIA. born and raised. 🙏
Have a good day
