    Once again we see the devastating effects of de-industrialization and the loss of manufacturing jobs which sustained communities such as this. Most who can afford to leave do so. No significant development replaces what is lost. Poverty, crime, and corruption ensue as a result. Such typical a scenario now as to be cliched.

    The metal scrapyard may have been the site of National Railway Equipment (NRE). NRE was a scrapper of locomotives and also a dealer and rebuilder of them. I was a railfan back in the 1980s and 1990s. Back then my railfan buddies and I would drive down from the Northwest Side to Dolton Crossing (it was a lot safer back then) and we'd always make a side trip to NRE to see what locomotives were sitting on the siding.

    I know the southern portion of Cook County is getting worse over the years, especially in South Side Chicago. When it comes to suburbs, Dixmoor, IL is quite a different struggling suburb in Chicagoland. I think Dixmoor has to be the most corrupt suburb in Cook County.

    There is a 1997 article in the Chicago Tribune about the Dixmoor Park District having 59 police officers. They had 7 in 1994. The Park District had no office. I think the article is behind a pay wall so this is a clip
    "The Dixmoor Park District currently collects nearly $250,000 in taxes. Until recently, it listed as many as 59 officers on its police force, including, federal prosecutors alleged Friday, a leader of the Traveling Vice Lords street gang.
    The Park District doesn’t have an office, and its phone number is disconnected. In fact, the entire village has only one little park.
    Even officials at Dixmoor Village Hall aren’t sure how to contact the Park District or where to find its officers."
    “The last time I heard, they were in St. Mark’s Church,” said Towana Ashley, a village water clerk.
    "Dixmoor has just a tiny “tot lot” called Children’s Memorial Park. The park at 143rd Street and Paulina Avenue has two swing sets, a slide and a couple of plastic whales and pelicans for children to rock back and forth. There’s a fence around the swing sets, but the seats are falling off the swings, and there is no lighting in or around the park."

    I could see Dixmoor split in two where the trailer park and junkyard side will go to Blue Island and even some unincorporated areas of blue island. And the areas south of the third set of tracks south of the junkyards can go to Harvey. Basically along racial lines the north is mostly Hispanic and White the south is mostly Black. But as more people move out of Dixmoor I can also see demographics changes in the town as more Hispanics/immigrants moving into places like Blue Island Posen and creeping eastward towards these areas and Harvey.

We're literally wasting billions and billions of dollars every year trying to keep these kinda suburbs afloat for what exactly? Trying to keep these alive would be like trying to keep a store like Kmart open that only sees 4 customers per day. There comes a point when its time to just turn off the lights and abandoned the whole property.

    I'd really appreciate if you had a livability score indicating the availability of sex industry. Stuff like street walkers, gentlemen's clubs, and shady massage parlors.

    You're not "poor shaming" like some other channel, "world according to (redacted)", OTOH, outsiders need to know Chicago area is not all "rust belt". We got may thriving communities, all over.

    it really should be annexed, there's no point in it existing on its own at that size, the fact it *can't* exist on its own. it doesn't sound as if there would be a lot of government redundancy to eliminate.

    Dixmoor has few taxpayers. Too few to make it as a city. Couldn't even have a decent riot in Dixmoor. Better to buy out and level almost all the homes and streets/sidewalks and return the land to Agriculture.

    @ChrisHarden You title should say "its last legs" instead of "it's last legs." As it is written now, your title reads "it is last legs." Please fix it promptly.

    Those gates and bars keeping Dixmoor residents confined in their town are shocking.
    Oh wait, there are none. The residents are free to leave and become welfare burdens somewhere else.
