I had one homie I grew up with that was an insane campbell boy then he turned YLO C and was cool with the dude Gitano in this video..... they are both dead now sadly RIP Speedy RIP Gitano C🙏

I remember how crazy logan square was in the 90s i grew up by diversey and central park... Everyone was in the church parking lot by lawndale and wolfram

Yes I remember them Cobras

[@noneyabizznz9097]

@@jaimerivera2432 was so crazy back then...

[@ICee712]

Yeah, a different time. In the 80s, we were right off of Fullerton and Lawndale. Then near Belmont and Cicero during the early 90s. Then up around Pulaski and Lawrence after that.

When all the Latin folks were at war the Mozart park, hermosa park area, Logan square, was down and dirty in the early 90s. The devil side was wild, the northwest side Latino gangs cleaned up a lot since then. They’re more Belmont cragin now but the don’t bang outside no more, I don’t even know how they bang, o don’t see anybody hanging in their hoods no more.

[@mikewhite8848]

They just pop pills get drunk and ride around in stolen cars or they moms car's and they bang or shoot at each other in traffic. But that's a good thing because alot of us would not be here right now if it was still like the 90s.

I grew up around these people and in that environment Gitano was shot in the head and killed , My wife’s uncle was A cobra and Gitano was his best friend

[@jorgesosa4545]

When did that happen. I grew up on Mozart and Cortland and saw a lot of those guys go down till I moved. I’m glad I never joined none of those gangs.
