This happens several times a day in this sh**hole neighborhood. Sad but true. The Alderman in this area needs to resign.
ReplyDeleteReally? I had no idea there was so much crime in that area. In the mid to late 90's, Humboldt Park went through a gentrification process and a lot of buildings in the area went condo.
ReplyDeleteGentrification doesn't necessarily remove crime. In the 1980s and 1990s, the 'Chicago Reader' had stories about this "strange" phenomenon.

ReplyDeleteA lot of buildings in Uptown went condo several years ago, and the neighborhood even garnered a brand new Target store. The change doesn't seem to be helping.
Austin had some gentrification too and some parts were becoming nice(r) (i.e during the 1980-1996 house tour era), but by 1997 an observation of rough, rowdy little kids and teenagers convinced me that Austin was going down again. Sadly, I was right. :(
ReplyDeleteRudy, I could fill up my blog with nothing but Austin crimes. The crime in that neighborhood is unbelievable.
ReplyDeleteTimothy, I believe you. The many criminals, drug addicts, mentally ill people and now ex-CHA tenants have a stronghold there. :(
