We were one of the first families in R T Homes back in 1962 or 63', in 4844 State Street. They were at that time not only brand new but the best that some had ever lived in. My mother moved us out before they began caging up the place. I literally saw 2 and 3 generations living there. My grandchildren cannot believe the things I sometimes tell them.

Vulture City Robert Taylor Homes Chicago, Illinois 4848 thru 5041 I grew up in the Wild-Wild (5100 thru 5266). It's so weird how it was the most dangerous place in America but I had so much fun. I don't regret living there. I survived it. So I know I can survive any place on Earth. 5100 is tatted on my arm. The Taylors never slept. Ever. Man, I remember walking from 51st down State Street all the way to Stateway Gardens to go to White Sox games, making quick stops thru 40 Strong to scoop up my cousins. We would walk from the Taylors all the way to the 31st Street beach, chasing girls, chilling. Man, we made the absolute best of our bad environment.
I try to tell people that I'm always jealous of people who grew up in the city and especially the worst parts because they seem to have had such a community and so much fun. I grew up in the country in a house by myself in the middle of nowhere, no neighbors. It sucked. I'd risk the violence for fun and connection any day. Now I'm an isolated ass fucked up adult
Bro, you never had a confrontation?We only walked through Wentworth because it was never safe to travel straight down State St. God was with you on your journey because the BD's,MC's or the Mafia's would've got down if they saw us walking comfortably down State, especially during wartime.

@ChicaGOrilla4CHN Right on that's what I figured. From what I've looked into though (I'm not speaking from experience) the people have more control on the west side don't they. I always though the west side of Chicago was a VL hub.
Where u get that from, cuz i read and heard that Middle Eastern people came on the continent that we call Africa today, and forcefully converted our people into islam, (like Europeans did with christianity) and while doing that they taught that the Original Man is "Asiatic", to make the ppl in Africa that the Gods are from the middle east or Asia period.. and i'm aware that Africa isnt the original name, but im sure it wasnt Asia. The whole continent was called Ethiopia
CrazyMunky84 yes 28 buildings in the Taylor's and GDS had 17 BDS had 5 stones had 5 vls had 1 BDS and stones shared two of these buildings 4848 and 4844

I respect this guy for not being a gang-banger. However I think that these folks shoulsd be employed by that state to keep these projects intact and in good shape. I dont understand why they dont do that. they are looking for work, and the place is falling apart. Put the two together and get something done.
Right and Africa is named after a whiteman so we are really not african PACMonopoly, and the reason we say asiatic is because before the world was called earth it was called Asia, and we being the first one the planet we are the Asiatic blackman sir!
