Humboldt Park has been getting gentrified for years, hence all the the fancy new homes and buildings but its nice to see a lot of the Puertorican culture being preserved in the artwork and murals. That area on Division between the two flag arches is known as "paseo boricua"
I've been noticing that, that's its getting gentrified, but good that they still preserve the culture, unlike many neighborhoods here in NYC, got fully gentrifies and lost its original culture
There used to be a time when you couldn't walk through the side streets without getting harassed by the gangs. I'm sure there are still some areas like this over there, but it has changed so much
even though I haven't lived there in over two decades, I was born there, and I attended high school there, RCHS Class of 2000! Humboldt Park & Ukrainian Village will always be like home to me, it's practically become my summer vacation spot to walk around, I always want to feel safe whenever I'm back on Division Street between Western & California. I've been living down in El Paso, Texas for the past 21 years, and still I come back to H.P. in Chicago, my old stomping grounds when I get the chance.
That guy you say went to jail for 25 years is pedro albizu campos he is the 1 that stood up for the Puerto rican community he's the martin Luther king for the Puerto ricans that fought for our land and our people you P.O.S have some respect. 💯👈🏝🇵🇷
SOY PUERTORRIQUEÑO 🇵🇷 PERO NUNCA E VIVIDO EN CHICAGO TAMPOCO PUDE IR DE VISITA PERO VIVÍ EN BUFFALO NY POR 27 AÑOS Y MÍ DESEO ERA PODER VIVIR Ó VISITAR A CHICAGO THE WINDY CITY, NUNCA TUVE LA OPORTUNIDAD AHORA MISMO VIVO EN ORLANDO FLORIDA!!!! I LIKE CHICAGO!!!!
I believe the Jibarito originated in Chicago but it's starting to get around in other states. You should have gone a little further past the second flag to the horse stable that was turned into a Puerto Rican art museum. Come back to explore some more of the gems we have around the park. Buen Provecho!
Our Pride and Joy. Humboldt Park is one of the most beautiful neighborhoods in Chicago. It has been gentrified and the population of Boriquas has decreased, but it's still are little peace Puerto Rico in the city. We are the home and creater of the Jibarito sandwiches.
There used to also be a lot of Puerto Rican’s in Bucktown, Wicker Park and Logan Square (all neighborhoods next to HP), along with a lot of Polish people, but they’ve been heavily gentrified. Logan Square still retains a substantial amount of Puerto Rican’s & some of the Polish community went further west towards Portage Park, where there were already a lot of Polish ppl. Essentially, the other side of Division & Western (street you started off walking on) will lead you to WP, Bucktown & Logan Square. My grandpa used to own a corner store across from the fire station/baseball field. I remember there being a lot of businesses on Division St, where Paseo Boricua is, growing up. Slowly, they started closing and now there are a lot of empty storefronts. I think it’s because the surrounding neighborhoods started turning into gentrification hotspots (some of the most expensive neighborhoods in the city) & their rent spiked. Humboldt Park in itself is getting gentrified, but the street you walked on (The Paseo Boricua) seems to be resisting as best as it can. I think a lot of PR who grew up on the NW side (myself included) will be livid if they gentrify even that part of Division. Cities need cultural neighborhoods too to be interesting. That stretch is mainly the last stretch PR’s have of what was once a very PR (& Polish) area & we Puerto Rican’s and Poles hold the NW side dear to our hearts. Papa Cache, Cafe Colao & Lily’s Record Shop have all been there for a very long time. The sandwich you ate is called a Jibarito. It was invented in Humboldt Park (inspired by PR staples) at a restaurant just across the other side of the park called Borinquen. Borinquen was in HP for years and years, but they closed & now have their restaurant in another Northside neighborhood called North Center.
@@MannyExploresVlog Yes, Bucktown & Wicker Park are almost non-recognizable now. So different. Milwaukee Ave (main stretch of Wicker Park) used to be a bunch of furniture stores and mom & pop feeling shops.
I was brought home the hospital to our home in Humbolt Park. That was 70 years when it was a very Polish neighborhood.The church and school I attended was St. Fidelis which I believe are no longer in existence.
Eso es algo que admiro de las comunidades boricuas de New York y Chicago que tienen esa pasión. Yo viví en Orlando y los boricuas de allá son más insípidos.
ME HUBIERA GUSTADO VIVIR EN CHICAGO, SIEMPRE DESDE PEQUEÑO ME GUSTA ESA CIUDAD. SALI DE PUERTO RICO PARA VIVIR EN BUFFALO, NY ALLI VIVI POR CASI 27 AÑOS, NUNCA TUBE LA OPORTUNIDAD DE VISITAR A CHICAGO, LA VIDA ES ASÍ!!!!

Just wondering what would happen if I went to Puerto Rico and hung American flags everywhere and painted American scenes on all the walls?

So much artwork! Really beautiful 😍 and that sandwich looked wepalicious! Thank you for sharing 🇵🇷
I enjoyed the art work, the sandwich was really good
Puerto Rico style
Boricua .
For God Sake .
Come up to Humboldt County. The Emerald Triangle. Or back to the Mother Land . But Not the Nations Slaughter Capital
🇵🇷
This is awesome! How far is this from downtown Chicago?
I wonder who were the first Puerto Rican set foot on Chicago
That's cool! Don't think we hit this side of Chicago.. loving the art! Wow, I like that plaintain sandwich! I think there's something similar in NJ..
This side is a bit isolated but really cool to explore, that sandwich was really good.
Excellent work Nice sharing my friend
Thank you
beautiful chicago

I notice that, actually I started exploring Bucktown and Wicker Park and noticed how gentrified it was then I made my way to Humboldt Park

5:04 why is the flag black?
It's black in white as in resistance
I was brought home the hospital to our home in Humbolt Park. That was 70 years when it was a very Polish neighborhood.The church and school I attended was St. Fidelis which I believe are no longer in existence.
Beautiful and precious memories of Humboldt park as always. I never had any problems with anyone out there compared to trash Wicker park. Wepa.
