Born and raised there if your on the outside looking In don’t judge it has it success stories and it had its tragedies but determination and ambition with a good support system nothing was impossible so that’s the hand that some of us were dealt and some did great with it and some not so great but that’s life the Henry Horner homes taught me many valuable lessons and one of them is to be humble and forever grateful the projects it’s part of my beginning but it wasn’t my destiny.
I lived on the 6th floor in building 111 really wasn't that bad cause you had no choice but to adjust William H. Brown school was right across the street from my building
Thanks for this! I remember seeing these all the time when I was younger and I find it interesting to go back and see how things really were. I appreciate your time in making this.
These were the ones by the United center these and Rockwell Gardens. Anyhow they kinda scared the shit out of me as a kid. When I would go to Chicago I would wonder what it was like in there. Long before TH-cam could show you.
@@BusterMSC1 Yeah there was two sections, the original buildings, and some extension built about 5 years later in early 60s. Its funny years later my mom starting dating a guy from Chicago who grew up in Robert Taylor and gave us a tour of cabrini one year and one of my best friends from high school grew up in the West Garfield Park area and I used to visit him sometimes. So it was my adolescent hood education, a far cry from my middle class white boy beginnings. They were still hella dangerous but I had a new understanding and appreciation of that world. Realizing as messed up and neglected as those buildings were it was still a home and community for those people. That was why their demolition was protested and people from the various buildings still get together for cook outs and things of this nature to this day.
@deshanewash18 Wow that's crazy I didn't know this... Are there any violent crime statistics per capital I can look at? What was the most deadliest year in San Francisco if you know?
+swaveey Reat lol was that supposed to be an joke or what??? I didn't miss no rats or roaches cause I was scared of them but I don't regret coming outta the projects because it made me who I am today and if u tryna be funny then....that's you.. u can talk about me all u wanna idgaf
Christian Gustafson You can tell you have no idea about why these places were like this... And who is "We" ? You have no idea! You're just a person looking from the outside and not taking time to research. "We" *SMH*
Christian Gustafson Bro... You have not done any research. These building were not maintained by the Chicago Housing Authority (CHA). These conditions were allowed to continue. You are futher showing us you do not understand the practices of the CHA during these times. This happened in multiple places in Chicago; futhermore you do not understand poverty in the inner cities across America... BTW, I like how you switched it to "our".
The people was the cause of the smells clean up in one hour it looks like you didn't do anything lot of the pictures aren't true because 2245 had grass clean hallways so all the buildings weren't nasty put new fence out today it will be bend down in the morning we did it to ourselves
@@icepick976 everyone give a different answer on that, and I never lived in either so I'm not sure. However, I rode through on my Harley and I can say that they're both really bad places. I do believe Cabrini was worst from the stories I've heard.
@icepick976 I honestly don't know. I'm not even from Chicago, I'm from Florida but lived in Rockford area for a few years for work. I'm just glad to be home, that whole area is a headache lmao 🤣

I just finished reading There are No Children Here and I wanted to see what the Henry Horner Homes actually looked like.
I did to, it's unfortunate that the author didnt include any photos.

The HH was home I didn’t feel unsafe there but at night you better be in the house 💯

I can only Imagine the smell of those buildings
Piss and death

No one is ever trapped. There is always a way out.
Dude shut up
Kids are trapped if they grow up in that environment they can't just up n leave n buy a house
@@darksky4486right and it was also hard for families to move out bc their rent would go up when their income went up
Imagine if a fire gets started in these projects and it risk burning them all down I wonder if the fire department even would care...
These projects look worse than cabrni green the conditions these ppl live in these buildings should’ve been condemned long time ago.
That was a traveling vice lord building I take it.

This is bullshit they have no plan for the people who used to live in the projects they just want them out of the city
Why couldn't the residents take better care of what was provided to them?
Christian Gustafson there poor
Christian Gustafson You can tell you have no idea about why these places were like this...
And who is "We" ? You have no idea! You're just a person looking from the outside and not taking time to research. "We" *SMH*
I see the results, again and again, in the cities our grandparents built.

I really meant "my". The residents of this complex arrived later and destroyed large swaths of the once-great city.

So this place was like Cabrini Green and Robert Taylor? I never even heard of it. Where was it?
Which was more dangerous , Cabrini Green or Robert Taylor's ??

@@killroyjohnson1256 fasho . So the Robert Taylors had MC's and Bd's and the Cabrini Greens had vice lords and Gd's ?
