I grew up on Whipple & Wabansia. My mom got her Bikerdike townhouse there in 2000 (still lives there). I didn’t know that corner used to be a bar. When I was teen it was a corner store owned by Middle Easterners and my friends and I used to go to buy loose cigarettes. LK used to post up right outside and get harassed by the cops everyday in the mid-late 2000s until almost all the LK were driven out to make way for gentrification.
Gangbangin in the 80s & 90s were Crazy times coming from little village 26th & kedzie...today is way different u can actually drive from one side of 26th to other without getting bricked bottled or lid up...times have changed
Imperial Gangsters also shared Kimball & Cortland with the Spanish Cobras in those days. They always fought by the grammar school on St. Louis (Stowe) and Wabansia. Them against the LK's, Sawyer Boys, Spaulding Boys.
I went to Stowe in 83 & 84 and they was always rumbling out in the front. There was an empty lot right in front of the school. Them LK’s was always deep out there. I remember this one King - Lefty always walked with a cane. Don’t know why but always had a cane. Those was some crazy years. Me and my sisters had to walk to school from Harding & Wabansia folks hood Cobras & IG’s to People’s hood - LK’s. Saw a lot of shit go down
I grew up by Humboldt pk in the 80,s on McLean , right down the block from Shakespeare police station ,it was a trip back then .Then also lived on Walton n grand ,another lively neighborhood back in the day ,only wedo in the neighborhood.
Listening to your voice is weird, it sounds like listening to myself on a recording. Our voices sound a lot alike. Interesting video bro, keep them coming.
The women pictured with Anthony and Hector is my grandmother! Does anyone have any videos, pictures or stories of her? My mother lost everything of hers and would love to see or hear anything!
I love this because we can make it but we do need help and understanding of us , just need that chance in life and we all give it back more than anyone because we loved it and we know more pain than all.
DAM ITZ BEEN A MINUTE SINCE I LAST SEEN HECTOR. ALWAYZ WONDERED WAT HAPPENED TO HIM. LAST TIME I SEEN HIM WUZ BACK IN THE 90s IN PRIZON IN ADRIAN. IT WUZ A TRIP KUZ WE BOTH WUZ KINGZ AND WUZ IN MICHIGAN DOIN TIME. HIT ME UP SUMTYME BROTHA.
I sure hope so… Moffat & Campbell was a very respected and feared GL section, as was Palmer St. Much Love and hope all is well! Stay tuned for more interviews
Dude I went to Columbus. I’m 46 now. If you around my age we got to know each other. I was in Columbus from 1st to 6th grade then I went to Lowell on Hirsch and Spaulding
@@westlove1226 I literally lived across the street from Columbus, the 3 floor house next to the alley and one of my friends lived next door to me and still lives there goes by the name Benji
@@westlove1226 I first grew up on Augusta and noble with my family and I remember across street from from lived 2 brothers who were big HG’z coco and jumbo then I moved to Augusta and hoyne finish Columbus then moved to Beach and Spaulding and it’s history from there
@@Fa5ian_si I went to Columbus with (Rest In Peace Coco’s) son, Coco ended up OD’ing in 2016, he also flipped from HG to SD. His son has a kid of his own now and doing well. I grew up on Iowa St. around old school Ukrainians and Polacks so you know which route I went lol.
@@westlove1226 Damn didn’t know that about Coco, my uncle had a daughter from his sister Alex which my uncle never claimed as his own. When I moved to Augusta and Hoyne the names I remember that rang were Red from the CNotes, lefty and shadow from the Dragons, a king from DW name Commando and some IG’s from western by the laundromat name bam bam. I was young so when I turned out from Beach and Spaulding all those names were gone and CNotes were non existence along with all the other white gangs and I believe no more IG’z on western either when the peace broke apart between them and the Cobras

I believe the corner store owner was nicknamed ‘Shady’.
