Cabrini Green at it's height had about 20,000 people living there and it got really bad. Gangs shooting at each other from opposite high rises, people being thrown off roof tops, girls being raped and blinded in stairwells. Bad stuff.

They are all torn down now(highrises). Putting up a target in there place now, IIRC. The row houses are there but I don't know if anyone lives in them. I think they are all abandoned. Moved away about 2 years ago- so not 100% sure.

Drove through Cabrini with my family around 1991, sister was going to De Paul and we made a WRONG turn. Not a good mistake. Rocks, garbage and whatever they could find was thrown at our Suburban. Place was nuts.




instead of trying to sell u drugs they threw dirty drawls at you?

they stopped gang warfare to throw rocks at your suv?

sounds fabricated but maybe not


Why would I make it up?

It was little kids (8-13) that were throwing the rocks, not gang bangers. We made a wrong turn, went down a street filled with kids and they started throwing shit at out car. I was young, 8 or 9.
