Pictures of "Ghetto America" I have found on the web that draws up deep feeling and/or emotion of urban life in America. I take no credit in actually taking these pictures. To me it is art. How far are you willing to go to get that shot? Where is the most dangerous place you have been with a camera? post your pictures.

Yo son, This shit is straight ghetto, like my nayba hood bbbiiiaattttccchhh!!!!
You got any pix to you can send me? Are you from Chicago? I was there a few years back at the (2800W / 2300N) block near Logan Square/ California stop on the Subway Milwaukee/Kennedy Expressway (O'Hare) Branch Line.
Chicago is a beautiful city. It also has a whole lot to do with our nations money. Every city has it's bad parts. Of course a big city will have a bigger ghetto.
Those pictures are of Cabrini Green and they no longer there .. The city moved those people out and spread them out into the far northern burbs where alot of wealthy people live.. Now the neighborhoods they occupy are turning into ghettos... go figure..it is sad to say it but they don't care about community and don't want to work to get ahead.. they are perfectly ok with getting a government check and having a dozen kids that they can't care for ... More for me to support makes me sick...
the new new york city
I knew Cabrini Green in the 90s and it's a far more complex situation now, after uprooting people who had only ever know that rough and poor community.
No body asks to be poor, stigmatized
and misunderstood.
Being ghettoized has nothing to do with color or status, or if you're wealthy or poor.
Lot of fancy people are ghettoized in their gated communities.
I tried to take some pictures of the ghetto in Phoenix but some mexicans stole my camera and beat me up :(
Of course Chicago has ghettos it's right down the freeway from Detroit!
Gary is just making Chicago worst. All of the Chicago ghettos is by Gary, not closer to Illinois. The Illinois ghetto is mainly East Saint Louis.
It seems like Russia.
It not the truth! Anywhere you will not find so awful position of people in a society in Rossi. Yes we have complexities, but they can be solved!!!!

Mmmmmm
Just lookin' out of the window.
Watchin' the asphalt grow.
Thinkin' how it all looks hand-me-down.
Good Times, yeah, yeah Good Times
Keepin' your head above water
Makin' a wave when you can
That one tall building looks a lot like one of the old Taylor buildings on the south side along State St. east of the Ryan. Over the last 10 years almost all of Taylor has been torn down. The Neighborhood east of there is still a tough area though, all the way down to East 95th St. I'm a trucker, been hauling meat to Chicago for almost 30 years. Used to work at 2000 West 43rd in 1982-83, by Farley Candy and the Damen overpass that isn't there anymore. I have friends that work at the steel mill at Roosevelt and Kostner too. Too bad I can't just send the pictures stored in my head!!!
Chicago like most other major metropolitan areas has its good places along with its bad ones. Many of those who live in extremely poor community did not necessarily choose to be in those areas or that predicament; however, I do believe that better can be attained if one desires so. The power lies within our choice to change the situation
Where we come from we say joe, everybody calls each other joe, its part of a language you must know, WSUP JOE, WSUP JOE.
yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyy!! People are grown here. I so excited!!! Lets all be friends. I like everybody. Will you be my friend?
Shut, face, city, people, the hood, Chicago, cancer, go. And then I went to the store and bought some candy that I really liked. But know one else liked the candy. So I went to the future and got some more candy!!! Isn't it great??
Robitessin u u, robitessin u u, let my people go, what is the question, clean sox, what boootttaaayy, on my own, boom, tell the teacher, tell the teacher, coookaaaayyy!!!
