Chicago pool happenings

When I was 18 my sister (16) and I did a landscaping job inside Cabrini Green. Just the two of us and a truck.

It was scary and people gathered around to watch us work but nobody tried anything.

We were lucky.

This was 1986.
We were there for a wedding in the spring of 1985 and my cousin and I drove past Cabrini Green on a nice sunny morning. He insisted on rolling up the windows and locking the doors. This was in a car with no power anything and no AC of course. We were only going past not going there to do anything, but I couldn’t argue with his precautions. Later I drove him through what was considered a bad neighborhood in Denver and he started doing that. I told him it wasn’t necessary. He said it was prime real estate then.😝
