You couldn't be more wrong. I've lived in Chicago all my life.Originally Posted by Cameron Nelson
You must not live there, or even visited before...Originally Posted by Royal Airness 29
Depends on where you live and who you associate with.
If you are not "bout that life," than there are no worries.
Also you dont want to start stuff with people you don't know, cause you never know who that somebody is. Just keep it moving.
Im pretty sure I know what Im talking about.
I have heard of other stories in which little girls have been caught in the line of fire. So yea, innocent folks don't seem like they are safe in those streets either.
I am not about that life, I am cool here in DC. But the way folks speak of Chicago is everyone has a chance of getting their wig pilt.
True story, just a week ago: I'm on another message board with a LOT of folks from Chicago....a dude who's an OG from the city commented on a few things about the Chi, and a young dude who lives there didn't take too kindly to him talkin crazy....got to gettin real disrespectful w/the OG online, and the OG was flyin back to the city that same night...he told the younger dude to "say that !@#* to my face". He (the OG) PM'ed the young dude his number cause they was gonna have it out when his flight touched down....the younger dude called him w/his brother on the phone, and it turned out his older brother and the OG was from the same set back in the day, so the !@#* got squashed and the younger dude apologized for bein disrespectful.
IMO, things went from bad to worse when Cabrini Green, Robert Taylor homes and Ida B.Wells homes were all torn down due to gentrification...all that area was prime real estate. Those 3 housing projects alone had almost 300,000 people, so NOW instead of having all the violence in one area, you've now spread it out across the city more than it already was. The only places that haven't been "infected" yet are places like Hoffman Estates where the houses start at $600,000+, but it goes down all around the city and surrounding areas.
