    The westside if Chicago has to be the most depressing areas I've been in. Abandoned factory, liquor store, storefront church, homeless man, dice game, boarded up home, and repeat every block.

    Ride the 66 Chicago or 65 Grand heading west and you'll know what I'm talking about.

    My older brother girlfriends family are these white people from Iowa but come to find out they're white people from Englewood from back in the day.
    My pops say growing up you could'nt pass 63rd St until the 60's. That's why 63rd from State to Stoney down to the low end is called the "Black Belt" so I can imagine they were white over there until the 60's

    The Strand Hotel, ironically it's still there, it's right next to that store by the alley and the "Family Dollar" on the other side of it

    Props King Hassan all of that must have been cleared out and just turned into Rainbow Beach. I went to Powell elementary right there on 75th and South Shore, they just built a second building across the street on the corner.

    Sidenote: Rose for MVP



    "White Flight" is a crazy reality. I'm gonna have to drive down cottage just to compare.
