  • Poverty at it's finest

  • Man, the memories! I used to live right there on Prairie in what was known as the 220 building. I see all the projects are gone, Robert's Motel is gone; even Vito's grocery store is no more. At least the sign is still there! I remember being afraid to walk past the freight yard cause all the bums would be under the tracks, lol!

  • 63rd street did not get burned out after the King riots, the gangs ran the businesses away and those properties were very old and had not been renovated.

  • im from here

  • This ride just goes to show that the homes could have been built on the residential streets and businesses should have remained on 63rd. Who wants to spend $250,000 on a condo and have to go miles away to shop? Just a way of running good citizens out. I feel safer in Woodlawn than I do in other hoods.

  • @pawpawnorth Just like Bridgeport, Beverly, and Mt. Greenwood are the most racist neighborhoods I've seen. So no im not proud of the poverty and violence, but im still proud of where i come from.

  • @eaguir3

    Look, I visited Chicago in "87 and "88, haven't been their since! I will say this I rode the Dan Ryan El to the end on the South side. Chicago has turned things around, I know Cabrini housing project is still very unforgiving, but it seems the city has a handle on it. What are we trying to do in America? It seems every one wants to push out the poor people! Some would say money talks and bullshit walks! However, most residents in these neighborhoods are hard working people!

  • @italobambino43 your right on that, our ghetto neighborhoods compared to others i have to say look pretty good. Streets and Sanitations do a good job in this city

  • What are you trying to say? If this is supposed to be a ghetto, it looks pretty good from my point of view! If you want to see a ghetto, take a ride through Kensington or North Philadelphia elevated lines! This looks pretty good! Are you kidding me? These homes in cottage grove look very nice, this is a ghetto? Where is the graffiti and the drug dealers, lol?

  • @chisixtrey soo you want your neighborhood to be ugly delapitated and dangerous, Please elaborate?
