Irish, Italian, Polish, Black, Greeks, Latino (mostly Chicanos from Desplains). The ones you referred to came after I moved (thank God)...............or I would have ended up in Joliet or Pontiac if you get my drift. Fortunately, I got a scholarship and escaped that hell hole. I never looked back.I am one of the few Chicago natives that did no particularly care for growing up in that environment of mean streets and brutal rascism....but I believe it has since been yuppified.

i agree for the most part with everything you stated. i dont know how old you are exactly, but when i grew up in CHI-TOWN it was gangs everywhere man. even into the suburbs. all the schools were flooded with gangs as well(Lane Tech, Mather, Von Stuben, Roosevelt) were all F'd by the time i got into that age bracket. So one had to escape to the burbs or hopefully get accepted into a magnet program. i tried my best to stay away but u know all ya friends end up in one or another and by association or running into random BS drama its bound to happen. especially on the northside. i was with a hip hop crew. we break dance, tag, DJ everything man, but even then so most crews are associated and backed up by the gangs etc etc. finally getting my shiiiiiiit together and getting out of CHI-TOWN completely and going to college and doing business here on the west coast im surpised to hear that they still got LK, GDN etc stronger than ever man. u'd think that stuff would die out but hey man new generations new drama i guess. i agree with u tho they are trying to fix up chitown and give it a yuppy feel and thats good, but i had to grow up in the shiiittty ghetto version so these youngstas better appreciate the new face lift.
