The O'Hare Ghost Town

[sensibudz]

jeez it really sucks and is sad as hell....

btw what was the song in the background?

[bamboobow]

i live right next to there my house was luckily in the area of not needing to be demolished

[ussvoyager2001]

All for what they call progress. O'Hare can expand all the way to Texas and they still won't get flights out of there on time.

[GameProductions101]

@hbk621 dude Bensenville is awesome I don't know what you have against it??

[GameProductions101]

Lol as being someone who lived there it's not that bad at night

[Patsbug66]

I remeber driving though there in like august of 09 and it was definatley spooky at 11 oclock, too bad to see all those homes go

[GameProductions101]

I used to live here. and the factory that's you pass by in the video is where my Dad used to work but they had to move to a different building the name of the business is S&D Products. But the good news is that I herd that O'Hare ran out of money to do anything to Bensenville

[xjustinbieberxx23]

i used to live there. it was very scary.

[richard21solava]

Damn iwant to get ice cream from him and j wasn't kicked out cuz I went during the time when the area wasn't restricted

[SecondCitySinner]

thats pretty sad.the same thin happenin by my house, theyre tryin to put an on ramp to get from i-57n into 294 easier

[richard21solava]

Yeah I know we had just finished watching saw 6 and didn't know whT to do so we decided to go back to our old home and see if we foound a ghost haha and we did! After that at like 3 am we went to blackhawk hill and took pics there but there was nothing I was spooked though haha freaking ghostville!!!!

Btw does anyone know where Dave the ice cream man goes now he is awesome!!!!

[misscandiceone]

@richard21solava

he is still around!! off 83 and irving.

[richard21solava]

i went there with two friends yesterday to see our old houses and we started taking pictures and we caught an orb and a ghost on the camera as we took the picture 2 street lights turned off and the wind go heavy!!! this was like at 2 A.M.

[misscandiceone]

@richard21solava how did you pull that off??

i went back once and was thrown out in a minute!

[seanyiscubsfan1]

also apollo burger is getting torn down which sucks because they had really good food i loved their sauce

[VisionOfSound]

I meant to day a week since i'm never home :P

[VisionOfSound]

Lol now there's just lots of bums, burned houses, and broken windows. I went past there like a week ago when my cousin was back for 10 days (He's in a Marines boot camp in San Diego now).

Funny how they leave all the power on. my house wastes less power in a year then all those lights in a day. Plus I read that a plane leaves or enters O' Hare every 14 seconds.. wdf do they need more runways for? And it it worth having to move that cemetery?

[seanyiscubsfan1]

i just hate to see all these houses go

[JohnKelly32102]

We got pulled over for driving in that area.

[seanyiscubsfan1]

was it bensenvile or chicago police that pulled u over cuz both of em patrol the area since its considered property of the city of chicago

[JohnKelly32102]

bensenville

[seanyiscubsfan1]

bensenville cops are pretty nice and fair i went there yesterday to take some photos and a security car was sitting near the old townhomes and told me i can only be on the street while taking pictures

[JohnKelly32102]

that's awesome. But it's probably the cop was cool though. But who knows

[VisionOfSound]

Yeah, it's getting worse every day. I drove past there to get to my couzin's house yesterday, and the grass is like 4 feet tall everywhere, 70% of windows are broken. I saw like 5 burned out houses, and 1 that fell down. It's tunring to shit pretty fast, 4 more months and it's gonna be impossible to let people ever move back. So now it's for sure that all that is going to be torn down.

[ToxicChaos77]

i usta live in 9 hamilton street it was a good home lots of room to play soccer its a shame that all the memories living there will b gone :'{

[VisionOfSound]

Several?? More like 500 homes and 60 businesses, like 2,000 trees and 30 streets.

[iscorpio]

for sure so sad, and I haven't been around there in a while, I'm sure its not going anywhere fast. just unused land and an economy that can no longer afford an expansion i'm sure.

[a2304]

yep

[SandburgSpartans]

I live in Elmhurst and I've been there! It's soo sad how each house has a paper taped to it saying that O'Hare owns it now.

[hi466]

this is sad and disturbing, how far will this go. People are being basically ripped out of their homes all for money, what is the world coming to

[iscorpio]

it is sad, and even sadder to be there and drive thru it. i'm not sure what the status of things are now, but i think the airport hasn't moved much further with the expansion...not sure but maybe the sour economy will halt or delay the expansion. what a waste.

[demon2701]

@iscorpio I'm gonna tell what is done so far. So far they demolish everything to the ground. There is no buildings, trees not even roads. Last week they start to set up some very tall steel beams next to the intersection of Irving Park rd and York Rd but I have no idea what that's gonna be.

[iscorpio]

@demon2701 oh wells seems as if they are moving forward. As the project eats up more land and money

[Yippykaiyay]

Daleys is homo

[degavabu]

thats really sad. i think its so wrong to "move" grave yards nice video though. a good tribute.

[pm0501]

Meigs Field and Bensenville. The legacy of Richard M. Daley.

[melrosepark]

and where all the families will go???

[SevensSweetness]

Hey, I like the video, what is the song playing in the backround?

[espionage1700]

Thanks for uploading this!

My house is at 1:41.

I used to go back when I was in town and drive around my old block, it brought back so many memories.

Thanks, this really means a lot!

Bensenville will always be home sweet home.

[cupidispunk64]

i ever wanted this to happpen i miss my house i grew up in bensenville and now its goin to be torn down for stupid air planes =[[[[

[moose6692]

ohare is going to be bigger more runways =more traffic more traffic and airlines = more terminals and gates = more choices of places to fly i wish thed hurry up

[IBMeddling]

Are they going to tear all that down?

[madero26749]
