Forsure

The government knew what they were doing when they built this project, even though they knew it was becoming more and more dangerous, 11 homicides After 11 homicides on the premises in early 1981, Chicago mayor Jane Byrne moved into a Cabrini-Green apartment for three weeks, seeking to bring local and national media attention to the ongoing chaos. To no avail, it is my opinion that this was a way to gather all the blacks in a large area and make them a project exactly what it was.

People love to go here around halloween, I'm from Chicago ,and this is the most visited horror movie trademark in Chicago, Because candy man was actually filmed here, along with chucky and Halloween which was filmed in jersey but still a illinois setting

I’m from the City of Chicago and l left there in 2007. I’m so glad I did but I do miss growing up but I do not miss all of the BS I had to deal with....

In the financial crunch of the 80’s I know someone who left a car there 24 hours intentionally for a stolen car claim instead having bank take it. Was pretty much guaranteed it would be gone or stripped n burnt out within the day parking there. Haha.

they do that shit in detroit every fucking day. nothing new bro

it's sad that demolishing the buildings was the only solution. Many of the residents most likely never lived anywhere else but in the projects. Generations of them resided in the area. And as dangerous as it was, it was the only home they knew. So unfortunate when you are unable to decide your own fate.

Firstly they become projects once the factories that built them for their workers no longer had use for them. Many people stayed because of not having a spoof dependable income. People made a community the same way homeowners do and generations of their families have been raised in the same place. Most of the people who lived and stayed were not lazy or dependent on the government because they wanted to especially if you were black you had to with the lack of opportunities for better education and labor. Trust there are more self employed people and businesses owners receiving government assistance as well with a healthy income because of the deductions they get they qualify. Individuals like you are busted every day for frauding the system. Stop judging

All those vacant lots would be great for low income high rise housing 🤔

Sad story. I just read upon it

It looks like the Gentrification Of Cabrini Green has become the Extension of Down Town Chicago to me !

I was watching Good Times and it was mentioned that their address was at 921 N Gilbert St so out of curiosity I was hoping to see that street name. Thank you for sharing , enjoyed the music too

I remember seeing an episode of Gangland on the History Channel about Cabrini Green and the gang violence that took place there.

I used to go to the greens as a kid and a teenager in the late 90s and early 2000s but I stopped going on 06 before they bulldozed the high rise buildings it was fun being from myrtle beach

Wow! Facinating. Thank you!

I half expected someone to come up on you and ask "You here for the Sweets?" Great video Love the music too. I would have given you the bootleg to Philip Glass' Candyman score to ride around with :)

Loved your video!!! I lived not far from Cabrini back in the day and I have lots of friends from Cabrini. I remember when Dantrell Davis was taken, it was so sad. Not to mention all of the innocent lives that were lost there. I pray for peace and for all of the people of my beloved city!!!

Is buildings still into with buildings over there like how the gardens is in war section by section

One Building would make compton or any neighborhood in Los Angeles look exactly just like a PlayGround ! When G-Rap was Poppin' back in the days many of the artists were scared of Chicago because all of the Rappers that was waiting to be discovered and turn the industry out ! Also there was this guy I heard that was inside the Hallway inside of one of them Red Brick buildings singing in the Hallway and he sounded so much better than any artists that was already in the business way back in 1991 ! He sounded better than R. Kelly or on the equal competitive Level with him !
