Compare current chicago to 1990 chicago (year I was born ) huge difference famIts the highest in 12 years actually.
If you are going to go back 25 years ago then you have a point
That's was 26 or whatever years ago.
He shoulda left the Chi like Herb, and Durk. He doper than all them nikkas outside of Herb. Sad shyt.
.
nikka please. Gary was a one industry town. Damn near everybody in GI worked at US Steel or Inland Steel. When they automated the factories in the 70s everybody lost they job. That shyt crushed the economic base up there. That's why it looks like it does, cuz it ain't no opportunities. You either work at the casinos or you driving to Chicago for work. Ain't no other options. Ain't even a whole bunch of options on the streets either. It's basically Vice Lords or nothing. They don't have that every other few blocks is a different gang type shyt Chicago has. And they still got that gang culture up there heavy so it ain't no free lancing if you trying to make some moves in the streets. You rocking with the gang or you not gonna eat shyt.
Chicago will never end up like Gary. It's impossible. Gary not even as bad as it used to be either. After the 80s thru early 2000s it ain't nobody left to kill or beef with like it used to be. Yeah they still have drama but no where near as bad as back in the day. shyt is a ghost town. Don't let them Cacs fool you breh. Them folks who tired of paying them high ass Illinois taxes steady creeping over the state line to plop they ass down in NWI. That shyt still look bombed out but it's starting to turn the corner. They already opening up hipster shyt like craft breweries and coffee shops out there in Miller. It's only a matter of time before some get brave and venture west and south from there.

tip. I'd have to probably stay in the house at night. Damn sure ain't shyt to do in Gary so I'd be driving to the Chi to hang out and pulling up to the house late at night ain't really that smart in GI. That shyt ain't bad as it used to be but night time in Gary is still the wolves play ground. Them couple seconds walking from the whip to the front door would be hazardous to your health and I'm pretty sure someone would lay on me and try to run my shyt eventually. Even tho Indiana got them lax gun laws I really don't want to be put in that situation of having to draw down on somebody who drew down on me. Some shyt like that would basically be like flipping a coin. That situation could go either way
It's obvious you and Barnett are not from Chicago and lived 30 miles away. In Lincoln park down Clark you see FOR RENT all up and down Clark. All up and down roosevelt all up and throughout wicker park tf is yall talking about? Businesses that was booming last year. These threads are pointless because you have nerds or old people from the burbs who have no idea what's going on who think they know everything. Who have never spend one day in the hood in their life. Lol.the bolded is
businesses are not leaving the city. matter of fact, they are relocating from the suburbs into the loop. the reason best buy closed is cuz brick and mortar electronic stores are antiquated as hell for the most part. and when it comes to tourism, chicago is actually having no trouble finding a shytload of tourist to visit despite all the fukkery.
