I saw this documentary on viceland this morning filmed in Gary. it was dope.

Last Week of High School - BALLS DEEP - VICELAND
Saw it last night too, shyt was really good.

I like how they disproved some of these stereotypes....cause a lot of the Gary situation parallels the shyt here. You were able to hear for yourself that the same kids who'd get labeled as thugs were just trying to be successful out here. Dudes were in the car legit happy about getting jobs at Subway, just being able to do something with themselves.

So I'm gonna be stuck in BI till September, honestly, it's not that bad of a area, nice set of bars out this way as well. Was chatting up with this bartender and he was telling me how a developer was about purchasing a Mansion out this way for $150K and how people

:patrice: Lowkey I might look into getting a studio out his way, depending on how this Summer goes.

Also was in Morgan Park today near Marsh-field Palaza, Kinda an overlook area imo, a little rough, but some decent houses out that way.

Very true.

When I was in hs a few years ago (in the south suburbs), there were guys who tried to start a gang. They came up with a name for it and tried to sell drugs. They stole from people and beat people up sometimes. They missed school quite frequently and got in trouble a lot. I think one of them even bought a gun. I'm not sure though. lol It was so stupid. They were fake/forced "hard.

Some of them tried to act "ghetto" too (girls included), and a lot of them tried to claim that they were from chicago.

I don't consider it morgan park until you're south of 107th street and west of longwood. I'm not sure what that area u were in is called. MP is definitely not east of I57.
