I was today years old when I learned the west side of Chicago is the hood and the Southside is mainly suburbs

Woodlawn, South Shore, Chatham, Auburn Gresham, Englewood is the king of Chicago hoods.

Shiiiiiiiiit, that area isn't so bad now. Its only going to get nicer once they start that United Center project.

Go back to the early '00s or '90s that place looked a lot worse:russ:

I’m actually talking about around 1995-1998 era lol

I been to Chicago just once since, I stayed in the Downtown Loop or whatever it’s called, didn’t venture out :mjpls:

That’s not high for a hood

South Dallas rate was 98 per 100k
I can't find the murder rate in South Dallas to speak to it but Dallas proper had 183 murders last year. Chicago had 573, and at this point Chicago ain't that much bigger than Dallas and its a major down year. Chicago got 240 so far and its only been 7 months.

I ain't arguing lol... I'm happy I can grab some Harold's without have my third eye always open.

South shore has always been a relatively middle class neighborhood. It was literally built for middle class jewish and germans and remained middle class after blacks moved in. That's part of the reason why it looks nice.

He did that with a tour bar too:

"Everybody out at the Up in Smoke Tour, I was uptown, gats out up in coke wars."

"Everybody out at the Roc the Mic Tour, I'm back in the kitchen, rocking the white raw"
