Anyone else’s childhood neighborhood gone downhill?

Used to be an Italian and Greek community, now it’s overgrown with immigrants

Either third or fourth generation, not fresh off the boat. And at least Italians and Greeks assimilate. These Asians and Latinos think they are back home

Mine did. RIP Monticello

Mine is fine. My parents still live there. However, when I was growing up it was tons of kids. Now it’s mostly old people. They all got several feet of water a couple years ago too, which cleared it out a good bit. But it’s certainly not trashy or dangerous.

The neighborhood my mom grew up in, and both my dad grew up in (they moved when he was middle school aged), are all pretty sketchy these days. East Black Oak off Sherwood, Shelley Street by Redemptorist, and Park Forest.

I grew up on St. Roch Ave. near Miro. So I’ll say yeah.

Yep. My parents may eventually downsize, but they seem fine for now.

No. Mine was a "working class" neighborhood growing up. Now those same 900 square foot three bedroom homes pull over a million.

Growing in my old neighborhood, there was 10 of us boys all close in age. I heard recently there are only three of us still alive. Kind of sad when I think back of all the good times we had. Haven't been back through there in a long time.
