  • i herd not to go to South Chicago unless i want to get shot lol

  • we have a very diverse community? all Black!!! and since when do Eastern Europeans live there?

  • He's looking for a starbucks outside the wik center! What a joke

  • @chudog1977 Not really lol my cousin is from naperville and she survived for a month when she stayed with us...even though she was with me the whole time lol

  • A friend of mine was murdered right at that mcdonalds.

  • The means streets of South Chicago. Where only the strong and the street smart can survive. If you've never been here, don't come, you won't make it out.

  • This is my neighborhood!! I really hope this neighborhood improves. I always felt that this neighborhood has had potential. The buildings are beautiful, but deteriorating. It is so close to the lake, but no parks to speak of. Hopefully the Chicago Lakeside project (from McCaffery Interests) will attract more money, but not just rich people

  • @DORITO773 Regarding the gentrification thing. I think I disagree. Slowly but surely there are more white people moving in. I bet that in 15 years this neighborhood's ethnic makeup will change. I bet more middle-class white people and middle-class latinos will move in.

  • @kjetil297 lol yup. that's tnt's mexican restaurant!
