Bottle rockets. It’s not always gun fire everywhere. Kids are shooting off bottle rockets. Harmless summer fun. Now come back when the sun goes down… Another thanx for posting CharlieBo
Maybe not everywhere...but this is Chicago. But wait. Strictest gun laws in America so there are no guns there. I forgot. Well done Lori Beetlejuice Lightfoot. (But no, those weren't gun shots I don't believe) (then again the only gunshots I've heard are at the gun range)
Bro ima tell u rn and this is because I live out there those is not bottle rockets out here we use paint ball guns bb guns and romen candles. Real guns are used but that's not what was heard
Nah I grew up here on block 1 I went out there to visit my grandma like 2 years ago on my birthday they had a couple murders in the little bit I stayed there one on my birthday which is July 15th. and another one when I went to the candy lady at like 11pm with my grandpa a person got shot that same night.
i remember when my anxiety was at it's absolute worst i would watch these videos are for the short time i watched i didn't feel anxious. I'm in a way better place now thankfully but these videos honestly saved me
I was born in Providence hospital in 1946. My family lived in a two bedroom unit on the corner of 130pl. I played on the playground with a girl named Janie. I don't remember her last name. There were swings and monkey bars. I don't remember too much more, but I can say it's been a pleasure to see this on RU-vid. Thank you very much. We moved to California in the summer of 1951.
I was a Health and safety inspector for this community, at 18 I went out there for 2 months from a small town in California, I had no idea what I was getting myself into but I was in 4 shootouts and heard of a lot more at night, after watching videos now of it definitely seems to have got better the Management there was great and it was definitely a learning experience.
@@6bmWrecksum Shouldnt be about who runnin ish from what i hear anybody living in that hole is around so much contamination a shame cha and the management as he call it aint doing nothing about Nor the City
@@Thebrothaisback The keywords here are ‘every’ and ‘inexplicably’. You don’t see this very often in ANY rich suburb, let alone ‘every’ one, like you do in essentially ‘every’ ghetto. For instance, I live in one of the wealthiest zip codes in Atlanta (and the country), 30327; look it up. I’ve been living in this house nearly 3 years and I’ve probably seen someone walking around my neighborhood without a shirt maybe 5 times (and I live RIGHT next to a tennis court where you might expect to see something like that) and all 5 times, it was obviously ‘explicable’. They were either in athletic gear or doing something around the house. Not just walking up the street in denim shorts😂....and stop being so sensitive. I’m from the bottom, my guy. I know what I’m talking about. I’m not privileged so I don’t have to tiptoe around the truth. Lol. You ain’t gotta like it. The facts don’t care
@@lanardfletcher1422 fool. The point is - you saw it mire than once! You dont know what the hood giy had his shirt off for, you just think the worst, while thinking they best for them burbs. Do you see how the perception works? Of course not...
@@Thebrothaisback that’s what inexplicable means, genius....it means I don’t know why😂😂😂....and because I don’t know why, I didn’t think anything. I simply stated the obvious 🤷🏾♂️ lol
@John Rico he knows bro. He’s trying to defend the hood when It wasnt even meant to be a slight towards the hood, it’s just a fact. A simple difference in cultures. I’m not even judging because I come from that. I’m just pointing it out because I’ve noticed the difference. Smh
As a former resident back in the 60' and 70' AG was a great community to grow up in; we had everything and needed nothing. Baseball Teams and Fields, Roller Skating, Swimming Pool with a retractable roof, fishing, Dr. Jackson took care of us, family reunions (Old-Timers Weekend) where current and former residents came together/home each year with parades and love, residents published a book, "History of Altgeld Gardens", developed one of the first community website (no longer active), Obama did community organizing there and went on to become President of the United States, and our HS basketball team even won the Illinois State Title in 1963, Cazzie Russell was the #1 pick in the NBA draft, the Mother of Environmental Justice was a resident, on and on ... it was the definition of a fully contained community where everyone knew and cared for each other. From Block 17 to Block 1, to Murray and beyond, it was a great community and I have many, many good memories that speak to me to this very day: Butchie - Block 5!❤
Altgeld Gardens on Chicago's Far South Side, it has a Public Library Branch, Carver High Used to be there, Until it was Closed Down, CTA's 34 Line Operates there from the Red Line Station 24/7 to the Area. What Else is New?
They have done studies that shows that if you create public housing that looks like something the tenant owns or is personable, they will treat it better and act a little better. Skyscraper projects seemed forced like internment camps and created frustration and it gave the tenant a sense of living in a prison, not a home. This is why most public housing are turning into this style. From what I've seen, it does seem to work.
Idk man the gardens been around since the 40s. It was built after ww2 for African American vets This place used to look way way worse. The city remodeled allot of the buildings. This area is where Obama started in politics
Hi Charlie, if you get to see this, be safe out there. I know you get comments/messages like this constantly, but hear me out. I am a born and bred Chicagoan. I've been all over the city and I'm really familiar with what goes on around here: north, south, and west sides. This past year has been the most bloody I've ever seen in my life. There is no other year that can even compare. Not even close. Constant murders, shootings and robberies. I'm from one of the "bad" neighborhoods and never before have I ever felt as deeply unsafe being outside than I have this year. It's honestly fucking terrible, and as I mentioned, I'm not exactly living in a condo on the lake, I know what violence is like. All of that is the long way of me saying that you should stay safe brother. I think you've implied you carry a "self-defense" tool (let's call it that...) and if that's what it takes, I say keep doing that. If not, you should consider carrying one. Legal or not, people around here always have their "tool" on them.
The crime all winter is a good indication that the summer is going to be horrific. Though it seems to be trending this way in every major city. Sorry you have to live in such a stressful environment.
I’m living in the altgeld gardens right now I’m only 14 but Ian gone lie I was born in Chicago heights and I had to make a big change when we moved here in the first week I heard gun shots and I almost got robbed but luckily they didn’t they just said stay safe out here shordy and then I went bought my gun because I knew I wouldn’t be so lucky next time and i started bringing it to school and whole time other kids was bringing guns to school to I saw a dude pull out a whole Draco from his Nike tech and security saw it ain’t do nothing so that’s when I fr knew I had to move different so I made friends even with the kids that’s gang affiliated and they was actually cool and living here is good most of at least the kids is chill and cool but at night shi is completely different you got niggas lurking everywhere that’s why i made my little group
My grandmother use to be the candy lady out there. I remember going to the corner store and chased by dogs. It was wild out there in the 80's but fun as a child because we didn't know any better. We lived on 60th and May .
Used to be a Stone & GD on the other side neighborhood & a few VLs but back in the day Stones really ran these projects with GDs but now I think BDs dominant in the Gardens
CharlieBo, if you want to see a lot of action you need to be out west with it by Madison n Cicero Chicago ave n lawndale and Austin neighborhood especially in summer time. In the west side you can interview most of the people since they are more organized gangs. You’ll be alright there compare to out south! If you want to see crazy hispanic gangs which they all over the city but you’ll find em in back of the yards neighborhood in south-side, and by cook county prison. The most violent area in Chicago is Fuller neighborhood in east side.
Yeah they fixed it up and by fixing it up I mean build a new library. Before that the only store they had was a restaurant up top which shut down cause people kept stealing from it and rosebud which was far and not really that good. And the air stinks like sulfur. Behind block 1 the building look like they been abandoned for like 30 years
Nobody ever said that its projects thats still on the low end. Lawless still got projects. Murray homes right next to this. But the row houses for the greens is not projects they row houses. Im over there everyday
@@Discipleofyeshuahamaschiach not the same property owner whatsoever. And like I said they row houses is not projects. It dont even give that sort of vibe. The Greens is not how it used to be at all.
Only thing unlawful going on in there involves the disregard those individuals in the unmarked police vehicles had for residents wanting to drive down that street.
It's great how dangerous ghettos in America have much newer cars than middle class areas in EU, but life quality (education, safety, health care etc) is 100x times worse, people have right priorities ;)
