Not enough men in block clubs to help regulate shyt around the neighborhoods.
Very little activities for kids to keep busy and learn new skills/hobbies like band and boxing (There's a huge void of YMCAs/community centers out south)
People keep going on about gang culture but my mom's side of the family was raised in Ida B. Wells and from the conversations I've had with them, the Panthers were out there giving food to families. That's not to say there wasn't fist fights but my uncle told me a story about how back in the day some stones let a pit run wild during the Bud Billiken parade to scare everyone away
I can only speak for myself but people hear Englewood and hit the
not even knowing that my block was quiet because the police would always park there to bullshyt
The breh running My block, my hood, my city is doing good things but we need more men to step up. Cliche, I know.
And fukk these crooked ass career aldermen like Bobby Rush who have been in office for 30 years with no development in their ward.
