LG's gets a mention, but not the most infamous projects in BK. Especially today, the LG'S are damn near a nice neighborhood these days.
Shit, in Orange them Mechanic Street niggas used to really get it poppinI use to hear crazy shit about the projects in Newark in the 80's but a lot of them got tore down. Newark got the name Brick City cause they had so many projects. Seth Boyden in NewarkLil Bity in East Orange
^^^Youre probably talking about Prince St. Brick Towers, Seth Boyden, hayes home, Lil Bricks...I dont remember any projects name ringin out wit fear like Prince St, that was the last place you wanted to cop, visit a girl, or anything
And hes right the only projects I been to worse than Newark is in Chicago and Ive heard N.O. is awful across the board. And any hood Ive been to in Camden might as well have been the projects, that whole place needs to go.
my moms worked and lived in Jersey during a lot of my childhood and any NY PJ nigga I've taken over to Jers has had to agree the level of gullyness is a "tad" bit deeper
Farrugett houses. Maybe they did not like EMS cause i been working Brooklyn North for 22 years and they were never the worst of anything. lol
Man bring yo ass over to midtown south so u can deal with bums all day
Yeah that is def farruget
niggas aint shit over there
hey man you still third grade?
Yeah. that bugs me out, the Farragut projects and the development around it. Almost got caught by some stickup kids by the manhattan bridge. They lost their nerve cuz I kept my hands in my pocket and remained calm (on the outside) lolThese are the projects behind thw whitman and ingersoll houses that the name was slipping me before. The FARRAGUT houses
if you lived in atlanta in the 80s and 90s don't forget about jonesboro south!!! (one way in one way out). Oakforest in Clarkston. rough apartments there
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.
Knew sooner or later you would get to me born there 1962

Don't think you get me, we had no problem going up in there. But our bosses used to tell us not to go in alone. No diss to no one here if they lived up there, but we used to hear the weirdest shit. You would hear of people threatening city workers like "yo son, you dont wanna go up in there right now" or some crazy shit. So uhh my job aint worth my life, I listen, lol.
Then I remember one time, I had a chick shot on the 14th floor, thru the window. We could see no other buildings around at her height. Came thru the window cause you could see the bullet hole thru the mesh screen and it went into her tit. She was perfectly fine. Was about a 22 it looked like, but was like not a building around that height. Made no sense.
Weird shit goes down in them buildings. Or used to...
And to the other posters, I'm talking Farragut Houses over on Navy and Sands, NOT Glenwood Houses, please...
East Lake Meadows AKA Lil Vietnam in East Atlanta
somebody in this thread post something that has my pc freezing every time i come inside it. Had to use an entirely different browser to post. cut out all the fuckign pics!!!

Lived in Calumet during the first 9 years of my life. All the knuckle head shit didnt start until my pre-teens...once we moved on 67th and Blackstone (a block east of stoney island). Once I hit my pre-teens thats when I started kicking it in the Ida B's. Back then The Ida was most moes. But even then...I was still cool with a lot of the folks. Black and Mexican. Still cool with a lot of em to this day. The south side changed a lot...but I still walk freely all over the South East side; even where the folks be far far east...like past SSD.

The Desire was a beast! I loved the 9, my people use to hate going to that part of town. Niggas would not go down to the end Louisa for shit
Rockwell gardens westside Chitown back in the 70s. Grew up there on the 6th floor. Went to grade school at US Grant right across the street.
It was a surprisingly close knit community at least on our floor. lots of fond memories of the people anyway.
The crime was bad and the stairs were dark sometimes. The elevators were nasty most of the time smelling like urine.
Every couple of weeks or so or at least once a month you would hear about so and so getting shot or killed.
But there were some good times. We would have floor cleanups where everybody would get brooms, buckets and mops and clean the porch on the whole floor. We would have parties too. It wasnt really too different from the Good Times TV show.
Most everybody we knew eventually got out of the projects though except for this one family upstairs. She was still there over twenty years later. Her daughter had a family and did the same thing.
Growing up in the poverty of the projects was quite an experience.
Nice lil vid on Chitown projects in general:
