Chicago Little Italy - YCTV

[26Deacon]

Chicago's little Italy makes NYC's Little Italy look like a slum. CHICAGO BABY!!!

[Djinga]

authentic italian food? lol yeah right

[fiatpandacross]

Complimenti bel video e bella canzone viva l'Italia.

[MrSouthphillyitalian]

I def gotta go there

[nipple543]

franchescas is the shit!

[fedesimo92]

but now there aren't italians there because now the children of the children of the children of the italians who went there 80 years ago are americans

ormai non ci sono più italiani li perchè i figli dei figli dei figli degli italiani che sono emigrati li 80 anni fa sono americani

[mattk0516]

@fedesimo92 ma non e' la verita intera. non e' assai Italianissimo come si trovarai a Elmwood Park, o Addison, ma ci sono ancora famigli italiani che sono rimasto nel quartiere. E anche piu giovani generazioni di italiani dai parenti che hanno trasferito ai dintorni che sonno ritornato al quartiere origionale da Taylor street fatto ritornando ai i loro propri radici. Questo era fatto favoribile dovuto al gentrificazione recente.

[fedesimo92]

@mattk0516 non ho capito benissimo quello che hai scritto comunque da italiano sono stanco di essere umiliato all' estero da gente come quelli di Jersey shore o da ciccioni che gesticolano e che continuano a ripetere di essere italiani quando non sanno un cazzo del MIO paese e non parlano neanche la MIA lingua

my parents grew up on taylor street i wish i lived there in the 60's i love hearing all the stories

[WIDR101]

Is it strange that my favorite place to eat in Little Italy is ThaiBowl

[tb1519]

Kind'a funny how nobody called the neighborhood Little Italy when it was Italian. I guess "Taylor Street" didn't have enough cachet for the yuppie New York wannbees from Iowa State.

[tb1519]

Funny, when Italians lived there nobody called it "Little Italy", the neighborhood was called Taylor Street. I've lived in Chicago 60 years and never heard anyone but a yuppie real estate seller call it "Little Italy".

[NyYankees1985]

hey im visiting chicago and want to see the real italian neiborhoods in chicago not just little italy

what is there names and is there any good places i should check out

[lvampira]

Too bad there's not that many italians living there anymore...it's mainly yuppie residents....just like Greek Town...now 18th St. and most of the NOrth Side if not all.

Now there's starting to head out to Bridgeport.. Sad but true

[ChicagoJoe57]

There are still a lot of Italian living in Chicago, like Grand and Harlem area. That seems to be what is happening to all the Little Italys, like Malberry Street in NYC is being swallowed up by Chinatown.

The new Greektown in Chicago is Lawrence and Rockwell.

[nickvanzetti]

please those jews aint shit!

[D0nQuix0te]

This is the greatest neighborhood in the WORLD. I grew up on Taylor and Laflin see the ole hood grow to it's greatness. Everyone that grew up here loves it.

[otto3391]

check out my dad's documentary michael's basement

[D0nQuix0te]

Where can I find it?

[wonus]

un saluto a tutti gli italiani nel mondo !!

[LittleItalyTV]

Un grande saluto dal paese più bello del mondo...

Ciao Chicago dall'ITALIA!!!

[RhodeIslander88]

Bullshit!!! We (Italians) are of the white race!

You are very ignorant.

[dancefalloutboydance]

i live ther!!

[RICARDOAGUAS]

i grew up on taylor st lived on taylor for the first 12 years of my life i miss it lived right across the street from damenzos pizaa

[chitownchoppa08]

man, it aint like it used ta be. all my uncles and relatives who were around bak in tha day tell me it used ta be almost all Italian. now all ya see is blacks, middle easterners, and indians. i aint racist, but please, stay in your neighborhoods and we'll stay in ours.

[RhodeIslander88]

Yeah.. it's the same here in our "Little Italy" of Providence, now it's all Dominicans and Puerto Ricans...

[chitownbound]

im black and live in bronzeville by the lakefront and there are a lot of whites and asians are moving in our neck of the woods and u dont c us complaining about it

[RICARDOAGUAS]

when ever people of color want to move into a white neigboorhood the whites complain but when whites want to move into a black or latino area no one can complain about it

[majortom321]

i dont think that they move into a black or latino area.. can you give an example of this.?

[ChicagoJoe57]

In Chicago, at least three Latino neighborhoods have been taken over by Polish immigrants. It is strange how that is happening. The Little Italy at Grand and Noble went from Italian, to Latino, to yuppie.

[sexyrican77trey]

@ChicagoJoe57 , Yea Polish people don't stop coming and not only them but Russians and Germans, its hard to tell the difference between the languages but i can't defenetly tell who is Russian and who's just a some eastern Europian ,Russians have that "ugh" sound when they talk.

[RICARDOAGUAS]

im mexican i grew up on taylor st its a free country isnt it

[atfreema]

So why don't you live there and keep it Italian, instead of invading someone else's neighborhood?

[calabrisi1]

viva america e viva italia fratelli d'italia saluti da san luca (Calabria,Italy)

[RhodeIslander88]
