Looks like the temperature has dropped for good. Fine by me.

This is the time of the year where you can wear some of your best clothes. Decked out from head to toe.

They have this white unmarked Charger out here in Markham that has reflective graphics that light up when light hits it from the right angle. Never seen anything like this before

crazy shooting at a funeral.

sad thing is that chatham/burnside area used to be where the Black elite of Chicago lived in the early/mid 20th century.

Still plenty of middle class blacks in the Chatham neighborhood, city workers, CPS, CTA, cops & FFs etc

At this point, it really depends on the block you live on. Some blocks are quiet, yet others are grimy af

For instance, 79th and Maryland

82nd and Maryland

no doubt. just commenting generally on how with the general reputation of the south side people may never realize the actual history.

Chicago is a weird ass place always been since birth I grew up in projects beverly hills(evergreen park) chatman westside holycity oak park West loop now Hyde park its crazy how one block will have the cleanest wealthiest block then go down 1.5 blocks nun but bandos rodents junkies asking u for change. Chicago is like one big melting pot now since all the buildings got torn down. It's kind of weird when u see Bentleys Porsches phantoms etc posted up in the hood but I barely see that when I'm in the rich&wealthy parts of the city

yeah that always gets me too...humboldt park and even e. garfield park is like that going west. oak park and austin is like that too. that one is a doozy.


sometimes right in the middle of the certain hood you'll see just one street that is just completely unlike the rest. not even that you're having to to the next block - houses be real nice, manicured lawns, nice everyday cars. . you can tell those are the people who been there for generations.

My grandma stay off 103/King Drive

Her block and the blocks around her are beautiful, people that been there 30+ years. Old heads that are retired government workers, Ford plant, CTA etc

You go down a few blocks west towards Michigan ave it’s a whole different story
