Good show as always. Gutted that your competitor HoodTime has disappeared. Enjoyed them too

Home of ty money aka fat money.. super dope rapper.. That was an abandoned strip club called the skybox on halsted.. They are building thay huge casino right off of Halsted.. Hard Rock right down the street.. Still haven't been there..

Harvey had the infamous Dixie Square Mall shown in the movie The Blues Brothers in which the Blues Brothers drive through the dead mall. That mall "died" early.

Just drive slow, don’t be in a hurry driving on snow or icy roads. Remember you have your wife and dog in the vechicle and they depend on you to do the right thing.

They don’t know why stores won’t come in their area. Could it be the drive by’s the crime, the obviously racism and stares if and when a white person does come around they act like wild animals.

Black people yay

You’re forgetting about the Big Four who are supposed to be based there and shipped all the jobs overseas while taking corporate welfare. If that’s not corrupt I don’t know what is. They still haven’t paid back the bailout that they got from their pals in Washington.

lol you said “Chicago Heights” a many times

Migrants get the money.

If they want to do a clean up of Flint, start with city hall. Where do you think most of any ''grant' money goes?

She’s powerful because she’s embezzling millions

A long time ago I briefly lived in a house here that had a lot of strange goings on, I never knew the history of the town.

No mention of Marvins? The wet burrito or Garlic cheeseburgers? Its the best eats in the county.

Pat, I'd like to solve the puzzle.

Bryant School. First time I seen it gone and they built a new one. Pretty sad. I watched the video where they walk through it for the last time. Anybody remember when Jack in the box is across the street where Popeyes is now? We used to go there for lunch. $1 hamburger meal. Fry's and drink.

Dude. Fail. You drove right past Mr T's house and didn't even say anything.....

Oh my gosh I went to school in Carbondale in 1978-1979. Great times.

Does the other video have more music and less yammering?

You turned off Halsted before you passed my house. I'm the right under the viaduct. Anybody remember Tom's liquors? Willie's weenie wagon, that's now in Midlothian? Is that right? Little hamburger place 149th and Halsted?

You have to do better. The breaking bad building? Skybox. Come on now. And trendsetter right there across the street, original location was on 159th and it was a house, the owner was Lenny. It was freaking awesome. Come on now. The polar bear in the window of the dentist office in front of Lou Boudreau stadium. All the bars on Halsted. Jacks are better, all the great places to eat. Roma's.

One of the problems in Harvey is that it has unrealistic property tax rates that discourages investment. I’ll bet anything being built in Harvey today has a property tax abatement.

Born at Ingalls hospital. Raised all over. Behind where Walmart was, it was called Washington Park plaza. There used to be a horse race track, Washington Park, behind the plaza. It Burned. If I remember the first store there was Kmart or venture I can't remember which first. Across the street, was Washington Park Mall. Diana theaters. Service Merchandise. Washington Park restaurant. Later Pop n Fresh then Pizza Hut. Popular for people to Go there from Harvey. Remember the first Wendy's just south of I-80? Sneaking into the Sheraton hotel to swim? Good old days bike everywhere

Thanks, can you do Steger, IL?

Chris Empty Houses, Empty businesses, Empty lots that used to be houses and businesses. Not even 1 McDonalds in the whole town. But you’re blaming Walmart shutting down on Shop lifting? - or- Could it be that Walmart is a high Volume low margin operation. They need thousands of shoppers every day to keep the door open.

If Europeans lived there it would be one of the wealthiest!! Figure it out why

I have historical pictures of Harvey back in the 1950's and 1960's. It was totally different back then. I'm not old enough to remember those times but my grandmother is.

Homewood and neighboring Flossmoor were decent communities, at least when I lived around the area in the late 1990s.

Chief Black hawk is not there anymore he's at one of the black hawk banks I think now

Can't wait for the Markham video... My family lived there for decades before the crazy broke out

The brick building was the administration building and now a new one has been built

I stay on the main roads when driving through Brightmoor. Fenkell (Five Mile), Outer Drive, Lahser etc. I remember when the Irving was a family threater. I remember businesses like Fenkell Welding back in the 1960s. I worked on Dale street near Fenkell in the late seventies. I hung out with motorcycle friends at Elisa Howell park in the 1980's.

Florida has man trailer parks pretty much every state does.

Decatur? At least it's NOT ROCKFORD!!!😮

You should do a review on the Altgeld Gardens

Yep I know what I'm gonna experience when I hit the streets tomorrow afternoon.

Pacesetter Parkwayyyy the block

Thanks for doing all this, Chris! I consider it mandatory viewing. If we can get fusion going, the world's outlook should brighten a great deal It seems to me that there's plenty of space for everyone....

do you know that the impruovement is now all the way to johnston ave

PAY NO ATTENTION TO WHAT JESSE JACKSON SAYS,, THEY JUST CAN'T GET IET ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, RIGHT ! ! ! ! ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

do you know that rock island llinois is losing more population then the other quat cities

A CERTAIN PERCENTAGE OF THE POPULATION NEVER GET IT ""RIGHT"", THAT'S WHEN THEY BECOME ""CRIME INCORPERATED"", THEN YOU AND YOUR COMMUNITY ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,ARE SCREWED ! ! ! !

LOL I lived in St. Ignace most of my life you don't see the Northern lights here anymore than anywhere else! That's why the local was looking at you like you were talking a foreign language. Apparently you don't know your science!

I was in Dearborn, detroit in 2011 on a short business trip. While driving back from Troy after visiting my friends, I missed taking the exit and went straight to Detroit downtown. I had no cell phone or map with me. It was so scary getting lost in an unknown country and downtown like Detroit. But luckily the people whom I asked for the route were so friendly and helpful. I managed to get into the freeway and correct exit to Dearborn. And Someone warmed me about an exit that takes you to Canada. That exit was so confusing..

Keep on raising prices for homes and apartments things are going to get real real bad

It’s started THEY took over many towns in the county using THEIR violent nature and intimidation chasing out the original settlers.THEY don’t spend money on infrastructure because when THEY run out of water and sewage it becomes a emergency and political types get called racist if they don’t help the LAZYFUXS.

Born and raised in Chicago and lived in NW Indiana for a while. While Southern Illinois andd Southern Indiana seem similar, /he BIG DIFFERENCE is that Southern Indiana ( and rural Indiana) is very racist. Southern Indiana has a reputation of being Sundown towns. That means if you were Black, you avoided those towns at night. Don't stop for gas, don't stop to eat, just don't stop.

Impressive Work and research

Brilliant narrative evaluation tied in with excellent video and awesome (and heartbreaking) drone footage. This is much much more than evaluation of a community that has seen better days. Instead this is a carefully researched and assembled demonstration of what can and does work or not work essentially anywhere! This is not about talking points instead it is or should be a wake up call for everyone. There is so much wisdom here like the importance of good government, schools, public safety, planning etc. Being an old timer I am amazed how well he recaps the history that I remember going through. Chris should be given an honorary PHD in humanities, urban planning or history for his hard and heartfelt illuminating work.

The problem is the multi billion dollar real estate firm that bought up 30% of the rentals in your city then jacked up the rent 67% in 3 years as greedflation reduced how much a paycheck can afford. Sure, drugs are a problem. But when you have nothing, they are the only answer you can afford. Drug prices did not go up 67%, rent did. Everyone in this chat are ignoring the real problem and complaining about the victims. Stop blaming the victims! Blame the cause.

THERE WILL NEVER BE ENOUGH JOBS TO EMPLOY ""ALL THE PEOPLE", THERE WILL NEVER BE ENOUGH LAW TO CONTROL ALL THE ""ANIMALS""
