Never heard of it.

I once saw a documentary called "The Pruitt-Igoe Myth" on Netflix about this public housing project in St. Louis. That turned out to be a rough area.
It was eventually torn down.

I'm from chicago but i dont really know too much about the Greens TBH other than what I heard.

I do remember we got lost there trying to find finding some hospital where my mom was having an interview at (we're south siders so we're use to numbered streets and whatnot).

Didn't really feel that "scary" but this was like 03/04 when they were tearing the buildings down. Humboldt Park felt wilder to me....

My dad told me some stories about it when I was younger, but I don't remember everything.

The only thing I know about Cabrini Green Projects is that Candyman used to dwell there and that dude was scary as fukk.

Cabrini was so bad, Candyman packed his shyt up and left for Oak Park. Said he wanted to be where it was safer. Speaking of which why was Chicago the place Candyman haunted? Wasn't the nikka a slave? Shouldn't he be terrorizing someplace in the South instead of the projects in the midwest.
