You need to use some video editing software. Just walking one block in Pilsen with the cap off your camera does not give much of an idea of the place, and that ice cream truck? I wonder how the drivers of those things stay sane. Now I'll be hearing "Turkey in the Straw" in my dreams.
In my experience Chicago gets much cuter, gayer, and gentrified the closer you get to the loop. Not surprising really. Yuppies kind of disgust me but hey, they're people too.

I was born and raised in pilsen, lived on 21st street and western.
The pilsen area is not a safe place to live, you have more then 7 major Gangs there that have shoot outs all the time, day or night.
PCP and CRACK is a major Drug that is sold all over pisen, in the schools and on the streets, from 18th street to Cermac and from Western ave to Halsted.
Chicago police have been killed fighting the gangs there, "Buyer Beware"
Isn't 21st and Western technically "Little Village" (South Lawndale), not Pilsen?
White folk who fear gangs are dumb. If you're reasonably street smart (don't start shit, no conspicuous displays of wealth, etc) you aren't likely to get hurt by a gang. You're more likely get in a car accident (in any neighborhood) than get shot on the West/South side. Also, so what if you get jacked once in a while? A stolen wallet or cell phone is a small loss compared to car accidents, rent, etc.
they don't come out because they are scared and they like cheap rent ask my mom..they drink all night may go to school all hanged over,,mom should know, her tenents are anglo..
Good to see some middle class people moving in. It doesn't matter what ethnicity moves in, as long as they are educated. That should boost some property value. I left that shitty city a while back for the almighty Texas. Best decision I've ever made!:) I'm glad things are picking up. I use to live on Belmont, polish & latino n-hood. It use to be a good hood, than white flight happend. My parents moved out too. Now it's just average I heard.
hey YO are you POLISH cuz if you are you really dont belong here .. and I " GET THE FUCK OUT OF PILSEN ASSWHOLE " besides all you see there in that video are white people walking pass you, fuckin idiot.
are you aware that Pilsen was originally a large Czechoslovakian neighborhood with Polish and other eastern European immigrants? For nearly all of the history of this neighborhood has it been this way. Your statement makes no sense at all, saying someone doesn't belong there. The identities of neighborhoods change constantly. Such as Pilsen changing to a Mexican neighborhood in the 70's and staying that way since than.
@droogie2 My uncle lived in Pilsen for 15 years but moved out in 1992 to northern Chicago (avondale) because the neighborhood was getting worse and worse, especially at night. In my opinion, Pilsen was more of a Polish neighborhood than a Czech, or Slovakian, neighborhood, but there was a lot of them as well.
@droogie2 it has been a Mexican neighborhood since the late 40's genius stop getting your info from the internet bitch it WAS POLISH AND CHECK THEY LEFT BECAUSE IT WAS THERE CHOICE YOU FUCKING MORON THE PEOPLE THERE NOW ARE BEING FORCED OUT HUGE DIFFERENCE AND MY PEOPLE WANT TO RESERVE THAT NEIGHBORHOODS HISTORY FOR OUR PEOPLE WHAT YOU SAID DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE GO READ A BOOK OR SOMETHING OR ASK SOMEONE WHO LIVES THERE FOOL
@az123teca B.S I lived at pilsen in 1953, there were not any Mexicans, lived 18th and wood by harrison park all Polish,and checkoslovakian,dream another story.

the mexicans can't move into a all-white neighborhood though. Non-white-asian minorities in chicago are all concentrated into small areas. When a class of people start entering it obviously creates some tension. Besides, the hipsters/yuppies in pilsen make sure to live apart from the majority of the neighborhoods residents.
How about I stick my gay dick in your ass you little bitch. I grew up in the suburbs but I could kill you before breakfast and still be on time for work.
hahaha thats dudes cool if the camera dude had walked to the other side og blue island by jumping bean there is that knee deep and well jumping bean hipster are fed there
build it back up so u can have it !!! white people alwaysz want everythinq, they want the first house that came out on the corner which i used to live in until they kicked us out, fukk u,the hipsters and yuppies they can suck a dick just 4 that ,big uppsz to all the real chi-town niggas holdin it down 4 the hood
Well i live in pilsen. n seeing a bunch of white hipster (who probably have rich parents) walking around really pisses me off..
