Grew up in the ickies in Chicago and it was hard but down south projectYou ain't never lied. Don't let the small units, grass and bushes fool you. If it has ''courts'' ''gardens'' or ''park'' in the name, stay clear.
These are the projects behind thw whitman and ingersoll houses that the name was slipping me before. The FARRAGUT houses
Benning Terrace is a public housing project of 274 apartments and townhouses in southeast Washington, D.C. located east of the Anacostia River in the Benning Ridge neighborhood.[1] It was formerly known as "Simple City."
Brick Towers was a 324-unit affordable housing development in Newark, New Jersey, originally occupied in 1970. The buildings were demolished in 2006, despite opposition by the City’s Mayor Cory Booker who was living in the property at the time.[1][2] Although the buildings were reported structurally sound, there were persistent problems with poor management and associated criminal activity.
The Robert Taylor Homes was a Chicago Housing Authority (CHA) public housing project located in the Bronzeville neighborhood on the South Side of Chicago, on State Street between Pershing Road (39th Street) and 54th Street alongside the Dan Ryan Expressway.

yeah Fams, was up around that area, checking this chick who lived on the water in them duplex condos around the same time & into a yr after, taking wrong turns off the SawMill, riding through all them hills & seeing some of that wild looking shit, looking forgotten like parts of S Jersey. The Lox & double R were about to make their run during that time." as allegedly StylesP let a kat have it for trying to violate a certain area.Used to hear stories from my man who grew up out there in the 80s about them crimey youngins with the .22s to the necks running up on kats out of no where on the jux.
This right here...
All I read was:peace
THIS is the key to them science 'projects'/experiments all through CT.
Was convinced that a city where YALE (along with a slew of other colleges & universities, public, private & state funded) lives dabbles & creates new strains of whatever through their petri dish they call New Haven
When I was up there, there were nick names/sets for all the diff hoods & parts of hoods
{TheJungle, TreDeuce, the Deuce, TerraDome,the Hill,the Ville, etc},
the mayor was seen coming up out of some dealer's whip, generations of gangs
(the lk homie had that fiyah schama out there) & traditionally southern folk caught up on some up north shit.
Few yrs back, went through some pjs in the back of a college where I used to spend some time coming through, checking this chick & the whole shit was gone but was surprised they let it 'thrive' for as long as they did with generations of crackheads, girls raising themselves & their families.
Seen, experienced & heard of all types of wild stories from these little heard of pjs throughout Ct in cuts, shotty blocks & low spots that no one is even thinking of or even heard of unless from there. Used to walk through a few of them spots.
Reminded me of a smaller version of Rochester (another notable mention with traditional southern folk on some North mixed with South shit going on) & that Upstate shit.
Not palpable nor believable until they see it with their own eyes day &/or night
Same with parts of Trenton
Da Bruh used to work @ a community center out there & have lil cuzzos who used to stay around the corner from there, one doing big time now fucking around with that area since the change of the millennium.
Not too long afterwards, Flexx had a drop on the radio screaming abt "Don'tComeThruGettySq!
Used to hear stories from my man who grew up out there in the 80s about them crimey youngins with the .22s to the necks running up on kats out of no where on the jux.
No Mention of good ole WAGNER, Jefferson & all that Eastsside El Barrio shit from them days til now that still do what they do even after gentrification?
Them shits off Guy R Brewer. Smoking in that place had me paranoid as hell. Way too many loose muthafuckaz just roaming around.
My Hometown East St. Louis will make any of these projects looks like fancy Condo's in Soho! Take a look for yourself!

Nah.....but I used to live in the Calumet Building (Randolph Towers; off 62nd calumet). Its in my avatar. I used to be in the greens a lot. The Wells ....off King Drive.... used to my stomping round as well. And that was back when Chicago deserved the title Chiraq..in the early - mid 90's. Now ah days...White folks can be seen in these areas. Especially the areas closer to the lake. The area around the old calumet building is stil poor but theyre starting to fix it up.
This is my old building being demolished.
Funny thing is the fact that the Housing Projects werent meant for Black folks...but we ended up being the #1 occupants when it was all said a done. Nationwide...the shit ended up being a lab experiment that created some outstanding Black folks..but also ruined a lot of Black people as well.
