I lived in roseland from 1980 - 2010, and the truth is it's from block to block. It's funny that you bought up yummy, they found his body a block down from mine on 108th where there used to be a pedestrian walkway under the metra/freight tracks. Shavon was supposed to be in my Division at Corliss, we had a moment of silence for her on the first day of school, it was sad.

But anyway my dad still lives off 109th, his block is still beautiful and peaceful filled with homeowners who moved there in the 70's and 80's. Even the elderly whites who were too old to flee stayed until they died in the late 90's and never got messed with. However I personally know 4 people who were killed on the very next block west of us, where there were all apartments and open air drug dealing. That's basically the story of roseland, if you had a good block club, with homeowners who cared it was a good place to raise a kid, if "the element" out numbered the "civilians" then it could be problematic. You just had to be aware of where you were, and where you went, and who you knew as a teenager. Like for instance, I was messing with a girl that lived in "the valley" off 113th and Edbrooke, and the only reason I could even walk over there without getting robbed after sunset was cause I was cool with some of the Blackstones. Or I lived in a GD neighborhood, so my people that were 4's and Moe's from Corliss were super shook to come to my side. But even at the height of the gang wars in the 90's the nice blocks still stayed nice. They did dirt where they knew folks weren't going to call the cops on them. I moved west in 2010 after this current generation of dusthead pill popping dread dudes with no principles started running around stupid. They don't care where they are or who's around, of if they're messing up their own money.

I could tell Roseland stories for days.

This is all familiar to me. I went to Wendell Smith and Corliss. I remember being scared as a shorty when that Yummy stuff popped off

Couple of my homies stayed on 107th and Langley

I’m not sure about now but I remember 107th and Langley being

 

[@OffHalsted]

The fukk part of the 100s is 103rd - 115th/ Train tracks to Indiana.. Goontown, WenthworthMob, Rudeville, PrinceTown, 10-3 etc.
Everything else is tamed compare to that area
I think Roseland is responsible for like 75% of the homicides in the 100s also


I stayed on 119th for 10yrs shyt was quiet most of the time
& when shyt went bad it didn't last long

I had to drop somebody off in Roseland last week. I was pleasantly surprised. There is a whole area of Roseland with tree-lined streets and well-cared for homes. Look just like some sections of Morgan Park/Beverly.

Brehs from Roseland, does that area see much crime? I couldn’t really picture Yummy Sandifer running through those streets.

I can’t really recall where exactly but it was abutting the east side of Halsted.

roseland has its pockets like anywhere, i used to live on Vernon, and my grandparents lived on Vernon, so i used to visit them a lot, they block was nice and and a lot of established families. But it was other areas further down Michigan that was wild

Did you know Shavon or Yummy personally?

Yeah I was kind of taken aback in that area of Roseland.

Seems like my anxiety would be through the roof trying to navigate streets and shyt.

Was Corliss the Wild Wild West? I bet you got stories. Which was the grimiest school, Corliss or Fenger?

Indulge a suburbreh.

fenger was bout that action when i was coming up and in high school, had plenty of folks i know that went there, they put pepper spray in the vents, no heat in the winter, old books the list goes on, can’t speak on Corliss too much but i heard it was not to be played with up there

St Charles is old money but Glen Ellyn and Elmhurst arent really that posh
There are areas in Aurora near Fox Valley Mall that have 300-500K homes. I'm more talking the area around the mall and Eola Rd not like Downtown Aurora which is more regular

Waubonsie is in Aurora but is basically on the border with Naperville. I actually lived 5 minutes from Neuqua but it wasnt built yet so I went to Waubonsie. My sister is 2 years younger so she ended up going there.

My pops worked at Bell Labs and it was pretty high paying job(6 figures bac in the 90s) and most of his blac co-workers who made $$ lived in West Aurora, Lisle or Naperville

yo, i played water polo, when we went to play neuqua i was walking around there like

i went to a private high school but never on that level, it shows the worlds of difference between tax brackets, we went to another school but i can’t remember and it blew neuqua away, i thing one of them Wheaton schools, who ever it was they were the patriots them nikkas had an athletic facility that pool was massive

Reallyidk bro that's my area and that's the go-to grocery store in the area untill u go east towards downtown u run into jewels Mariano's and whole foods on Halsted and Roosevelt. You probably caught then on a bad day.every item I bought I get is fresh from Pete's so idk if you shop at different locations and different grocery store chains you can tell which produce is really organic. I just know not to buy certain foods from certain grocery chains just on my experience and research. I stay away from Walmart food,ultra foods,save alot Aldi's and food for less all of these are lower tier grocery stores in the Chicago land area. Only spots I shop with is Pete's 95% of the time only shop at jewels if in the downtown area at the moment and I only buy certain foods n supplements from whole foods btw I never stepped foot Insidr a trader Joe's so I can't speak on them

I think Mariano’s has the best produce by far and the prices are decent as well. They just got bought out by Kroger’s, some people are saying they’ve started messing with the brand already smh.

Damn you might have been on my block or around it



Yea its mixed like that...103rd to 107th from king drive east is beautiful....

Interesting you think jewels gonna go out of business like Dominick's? Ion think save alot n food for less will be around next couple yrs if this gentrification spreads out more outwest and in Englewood ova east

Roseland ain’t the same no more like some of yall have said, too many dusty nikkas running around who don’t care bout shyt.

I remember swimming in Palmer Park pool, going to my cousins games at Gately Stadium. Block club parties in the summer. Walking with my grandma to the grocery store on 103rd & king

I ride through certain blocks now and it’s disappointing to see them decline cuz the old heads either moved away or died off

even tho I’m partially a suburban nikka, them summers and weekends spent in Roseland with my grandma and cousins definitely molded a young breh
