East Lake Meadows in Atlanta before they tore it down was crazy

My cousin use to live out there when i was a kid

edit: damn already mentioned twice

I aint heard from my cousin from there since I was a kid I wonder what became of breh I hope he made it out ok

Murderside projects in Austin. Be from a hood called murderside brehs. (I'm not from there but respect they Crip'n )

Are you talking about the Booker T Washington joints on the Eastside?

And Prichard Alabama is basically one big ass project. Alabama Village is so poor some houses still don’t have electricity and it’s a death trap at night

Robert Taylor.

5323 Federal Ave apt 902

Those cage like hallways and the elevators, getting off on a floor that wasn’t yours was always unique experience to put it lightly

Images I don’t think I’ll ever forget


Those buildings were every bit as eerie as people describe them.


There were good times though, hooping in front of the buildings while OG’s with nice systems blared music.

Came in just to say this. If they made a movie about Jim Brown & Dudas no one would believe it

You forgot Marcy Projects

Personally for me I grew up in Pomonok Projects (Queens) and to be honest it was fine.

Marcy ain’t it like that

Gravesend Projects in Coney Island and Walt Whitman/Ingersoll houses in Forte Green are also notorious (or use to be).

.

I be in these all the time. They don't seem that bad but then again I know a lot of the people there.

Qb and Marcy aint that serious...this aint the 80s...those areas have been completely gentrified. They are completely safe, even at night time.

What's the deal with Robert Taylor homes? Corey Holcomb always talk about being from there and seeing wild shyt but he doesn't like going into detail about it lmao

Robert Taylor/Stateway was wayyy bigger than Cabrini

Robert Taylor Literally stretched for blocks

Cabrini was huge too but way more centralized

That's some judge dredd shyt.
Stateway is what they call O block now right?

Chicago needs a Narco types series from Capone to Chapo.

Nah stateway is completely demolished, it’s just empty fields. They promised it’d be redeveloped but you already know how that go.

O block( Parkway Gardens) is on king drive and it’s not CHA/public housing just low income apartments.

Forte Green is gentrified like crazy but if you hear about any murders you can bet 99% of the time it’s occurring in these buildings.

I think the last murder I heard about in Gravesend that happened this year was a construction lady who was murdered after she got caught in a crossfire.

I know right now the streets in CI are messed up because they are replacing the piping system.

Especially Queensbridge. Ravenswood and Astoria seem more hot to me these days.
