[@abreckenridge3001]

I loved it do more like Lincoln highway, or 95th

[@accyocam291]

Thanks for watching and definitely it is in my to do list. But as of now I got quite few videos lined up already prior to that. But don't worry I will get there soon.

[@litaperna1128]

I remember when 79th Street was buzzing with stores and activity. Families would stroll down the street in the evenings to window shop and get a bite to eat or walk around the licking ice cream cones.

[@Minelaughter]

Now gang members stroll down the street looking for opps

[@joeylyons4549]

These are so cool. Get to drive along places you will probably never go. Get to see different side of American life. Keep rolling my man

[@oldschoolhelp]

Hi that was a nice drive; im oldschool and i grew up around 79th street back in the day; 1970s- The church i went to is still there, on 79 and Wabash ; Thanks for the ride;

[@seventimes2571]

Carters temple.

[@shawnli9284]

How about Jackson park hospital area, good?

[@joeylyons4549]

These are great. Let’s you see the parts of cities no one wants to talk about. Keep up the good work man

[@jkwhite2164]

Thank you for this...Drive so many child hood memories.

[@vashtas]

Saw my church and the apartment complex I grew up in. Bringing back memories

[@jzk2020]

Of what, poverty, gangs, drive bys, hookers and junkies?

[@jleawandajjohnson4511]

Thank you sir.

[@alolipa]

Beautiful buildings streets seems clean

[@chriscoll6493]

Thanks man. My parents grew up in Avalon Park and graduated from Hirsch High School in 1959. Very different then. That whole area used to be like that TV show Happy Days.

[@jleawandajjohnson4511]

My husband was excited about your drive through. He said there nothing their no more.

[@AriesSuperLove]

The south side was a whole vibe back in the day

[@walterbrown8694]

In the early 1950s my dad worked for Van Cleef Brothers, a division of Johns-Manville at the corner of 79th and Woodlawn. The the company and building are both long gone - I think the location is a parking lot today.

[@anaximandertheraven]

Thanks for making this bcuz whenever I go home to visit I have to go down memory lane alone and can’t REALLY see everything

[@haroldrobinson9631]

Harold F. Robinson I used to live in the Gresham -Auburn Park area from 1967 to 1978. My mother lived on 81st. and Carpenter Street from 1971 to 2010. I went to Saint Leo Elementary from 1967 to 1969. Leo High School q969 to 1971. Then graduate from Neil F. Simeon Vocational High School 1971 to 1973. I later did three years in the Army 1973 to 1976. I went back home for two years 1976 to 1978. Then, I finally got my own apartment on the North side of Chicago in the East Roger's Park area in 1978.

[@haroldrobinson9631]

Major Motors used to be on the corner on 79th and Morgan Street for a very long time.

[@hollow9265]

Thank you so much for these videos! So cool. The one thing I seemed to notice is, besides the cars driving, it seems so lifeless. Also, it seems nobody gets to close to each other at stop lights. Thanks again!

[@Galidorquest]

Less people go for a walk in certain neighborhoods these days for obvious reasons.

[@JV-mw7gv]

Judging by the traffic or lack there of, this appears to be morning after rush hour. If this was 4pm, there’d be traffic and people everywhere. It’s a real pain in the ass to get around.

[@tioniathornton7508]

It's like you're right there driving and you never been... Wow amazing..

[@zuerst1233]

Was this ride on a sunday? all looks so empty and closed

[@accyocam291]

Yes it was filmed on Sunday morning.

[@edwinj9416]

bro thats because of all the shootings it be scary over there

[@eddeesalce]

this is great..thanks

[@bernieweber4663]

2:14 building in Barber Shop movie. Shop would be on corner of 79th Colfax. At 2:18 . End of movie you can see Colfax sign.

[@Galidorquest]

10:51 Wow, this street has changed quite a bit... Laundromat Limo used to be on the left, Burger King got remodeled, Marathon used to be Amoco and then BP by late 2002, and the streetlights, the library and McDonald's are still the same. @ 11:13, Boost Mobile used to be a barber shop and Chatham Foods was right across the street, and a very old Laundromat with wooden floors used to be on that same side of the street across from Ruggles Elementary. The 3 story building might've been demolished. @ 12:24 on the left side near the Dan Ryan expressway, an abandoned, tarnished building with graffiti stood at the spot for the longest time. One of the graffiti in large print said "God did it". @14:05, Moo & Oink was on the right side, and Dominick's & Coin Laundry was on the left. @14:47, "2001 Hair Salon" used to be somewhere on the right. Kids used to open & play around fire hydrants around this area back in the day.

[@Greenliight]

Definitely a city you wouldn’t want to honk at cars in

[@crustyfapkin4349]

Literally could be life and death

[@Off_The_Street_Records]

I use to hang out in the south side definitely not a place you wanna be caught at a red light in either

[@erenyeager7689]

Y’all scared or sum

[@angelofanella7860]

He was on only 1 street

[@anaximandertheraven]

These days I wouldn’t honk at cars anywhere

[@diamondtiara84]

I like the architecture of the buildings at 9:57. As far as I'm concerned, some of the worst neighborhoods in cities have the best architecture. (The modern, glass and steel buildings of the better neighborhoods, with some exceptions, look cold and boring.)

[@carstarsarstenstesenn]

many of Chicago's worst neighborhoods today were vibrant neighborhoods in the past. you can blame white flight, "urban renewal," and the corrupt government for that.

[@seventimes2571]

Nice video but you did not go to the total end , not necessary I guess . When you crossed the dan Ryan on the west part that part of the neighborhood is called west Chatham.

[@teddtarr]

I imagine they must sell a lot of Prozac & Zoloft around there.

[@donjulio1657]

9:50 my favorite liquor store on 79th n cottage

[@O.G.BFrmDaWstSd]

Happy Liquor ?? I had a Female Plug over there but she’s serve over on 95th / Avalon right off the Stony exit. Her and her 2 girls was working for her Brodie !! 🤣🤣🤣

[@donjulio1657]

7:23 white castle on 79th n stoney

[@aa-bq5pe]

Except I hate that long stoplight

[@texasmike77]

What does it look like on a Friday or sat night?

[@tdwatty821]

Kinda crazy

[@Off_The_Street_Records]

Every one outside all night posted up

[@lualvares8577]

Empty

[@Galidorquest]

Not that much different. More people used to be outside though back in the day.

[@sxli3340]

how dangerous is 79gh

[@lualvares8577]

Really safe

[@jzk2020]

wow that was 1 long street.

[@dawnegan3984]

Was it a nice place. at one time why do these places end so dangerous a rail ride would be interesting

[@AriesSuperLove]

Every since the projects was torn down the neighborhoods went downhill

[@AriesSuperLove]

Every since the projects was torn down the neighborhoods in the city went downhill

[@Haddley333]

How safe is it there? Can you jog on the street?

[@brandonb3273]

JohnConnor333 I backwards jog everyday right to bed in Chicago I'm the world's fastest backwards runner.

[@eddiewilson3724]

i would not advise that on 79th street, maybe lake shore drive

[@strechemall]

Hell no dude

[@Haddley333]

@@strechemall why is that? if i'm wearing wrong colors think im in a gang? rob my mp3 player?

[@strechemall]

@@Haddley333 Its 100% possible to avoid trouble in these neighborhoods alot of innocent victims are wrong place and wrong time. ALTHOUGH there is that event when an innocent is targeted and you a newcomer never seen on the block before out of nowhere is jogging. You're eventually going to get approached and depending on how you handle the situation it will go either way.

[@brandonb3273]

Did anybody ever check out where Child's Play was filmed in the Chicago scene?? I'd like to know.

[@pahwraith]

The apartment building in that movie is on diversey st. Between Broadway and Sheridan. It's the same one Charlie Chaplin lived in. Literally on the border of Lakeview on the Northside.

[@pahwraith]

The abandoned house scene was on the south side of chicago. In bronzeville. You can see the tall apartment buildings on 41sr.

[@dcotai2902]

... No people.. No life..

[@raychealcos9155]

Lots of abandon buildings!

[@Galidorquest]

@* static Nah, it's mainly Hyde Park, Bronzeville, Uptown (near North Ave.) and some of the Westside near I-290 that's been gentrified since the Mid 00's. Areas that are close to Downtown tend to experience gentrification. Most people who don't live in the deadly parts of the Southside steer clear of it.

[@charredprimate]

DOUBLEU BEE BEE BEE EM

[@accyocam291]

Sometimes it sounds like Dabble u bee bee am.

[@serverrunner]

Desolate and depressing looking. One thing the city should do is ban any handmade outside store signage the tire place and a few other make it look like Mississippi catfish dives.

[@dcotai2902]

..... No way Out

[@donjulio1657]

Any further down 79th hommie woulda been in justice Illinois lmao

[@kinanicole2]

McDonalds

[@dcotai2902]

... Not one police car.. Not one

[@Carolina_Panthers145]

Looks ghetto 😱

[@lianavreozi5879]

i grew up around there. it’s pretty dangerous.

[@lualvares8577]

Really not

[@Galidorquest]

No, really? You don't say...

[@ellde4761]

Disappointing!
