I'll take Illinois snow and tornados over Florida hurricanes and flooding any day.

I’ve noticed that Hispanics are moving in, they are opening stores and buying homes. I’m sure it’ll flourish again. 👌🏻👍🏻

I’ve lived at both ends of Halstead, the northern most and southern most, but I have never driven the whole length.

I grew up in Markham so I guess I can say I'm from the hood. Finally got to see a quick glimpse of St. Gerard Majella school and church. Slow down!

Thanks for the walk down memory lane. Used to live near the Tower Grove South area but now live in Charlotte, North Carolina.

29:03 I lived in UIC's East campus dorms in 1988, the year they built them. West of the Loop area was a LOT of fun back then. now it's completely gentrified and overpriced.

I grew up in cal city myself and back in the early 2010’s there was a decent amount to do but now it’s mostly boring or a crime is happening

Hello, I come from Vietnam. In January 2025 I am going to have a trip from Chicago to Detroit by a Toyota Highlander of my company's partner. So I want to know are there any rest stops along the journey for the driver to rest, eat, go to the bathroom and refuel the vehicle? Besides, I also wonder about traffic in your country. As on highways in Vietnam, the left lane is used for vehicles with higher speeds to overtake, and the inner right lane is an emergency stop lane to handle incidents. I don't know if it's like that in the US? Thank you very much

What happened to all the Old Style beer signs from back in the day that were one just about every or every other block ??

This is sad to see. I moved to Flint from Cleveland, Ohio back in 1968. It was booming back then. I now live in Swartz Creek, MI. Love this small city.

N StL was killed off by the same cultural cancer that finished off many once shining metropolises. This scourge of a disease killed, or is killing, the likes of Atlanta, Baltimore, Chicongo, Detroit, etc, etc, etc. And since it's no longer politically correct to actually identify an obvious problem for fear of offending the offenders, we are doomed to watch it continue to fester & annihilate. Kno'm'sayin..?

Did this drive in reverse from Chicago Heights with my dad. He loved this route into the city if there was no rush

What a shit hole

People that live here or call this there stomping grounds your 100 trash Tell your parents they should’ve got a better job

BUSINESSES LEFT, CRIME HAPPENED, CORRUPT POLITICIANS, NO ONE INVESTS IN THIS ARE. JB Pritzker needs to be fired!!! BILLIONS FOR ILLEGALS N THIS COMMUNITY IS STRUGGLING!!!

You should seriously consider doing a video on Park Forest, which is located next to Matteson. It has similar issues to Matteson but has a very interesting history, and a few areas that are getting seriously run down, with board-ups and such

Designed by the Gary, Indiana Urban Planning Committee

Blacks ruin it like always

FYI, there is only one 'E' in Sedgwick.

Love your music choice here Chris.

I love how Kansas city isn't even Kansas' largest city. It's Missouri's 2nd largest.

This channel is good for a relax

I wouldn't call it poverty stricken. I call it working class, with very few rentals. Most people here care about their property and take care of it as best they can. Some folks have fallen on hard times, here - not really an indictment of Markham as a city. What you saw in this video is mainly West Markham, and there is still North Markham to show. The other video shows some parts of East Markham.

At 1 hour 30 minutes in with Utah doing "Can You Feel The Sunshine" in the tiny community of Furley I said to myself yes I can really feel the sunshine! The road less traveled but most illuminating on so many levels is the heart and soul of a Chris Harden video. May those who take the time to experience these videos look at where they live with more curiosity and wonder. I certainly do.

Lived In Chgo heights and Park Forest in 60s and 70s. Matteson was south of 30 and east of Governor's Hwy. Not much there

I love these types of videos

I have no clue why, but this video helped me relax today. I just kept watching and watching. I enjoyed this video - ALOT!😊❤

I grew up in Northern Chicago Heights by Serena Hills. We were lucky, we attended HF.

Oh yeah, got a long one. Buckle up everybody!!

Back in the 70's, "Da Heights" was the Naperville of the time. There are still some very nice upscale homes and neighborhoods in town, but those are balanced by the blight of the East side, and you have to go to Olympia Fields or Homewood (or over to Indiana if you're smart) to buy groceries, gas, etc.

Rap music hurts.

Some people ruined it. You decide who?

I live in Ruskin from 2009 to 2013.

Most of the south/east side of Chicago is a sh!thole now

A food truck pavilion lol what clown came up with that idea and what's the purpose lol lol

Matteson was once a potential Black Barrington at one point, because the majority of the residents who moved to Matteson were middle-upper class Black Americans, and lots of houses, townhouses etc were all built, and lots of Black Americans moved there. All of the well-off Black residents moved there in the 90s to the 2010s. Hopefully Matteson can make a comeback and be similar to Olympia Fields and Flossmoor

This is very common occurrence in Cook County. The original home owners get old and die or move out. These homes have sometimes not been well maintained as they aged and on social security. The prices of these homes decrease and buyers with less financial means buy these homes and do not maintain them either. The lower the property values become, the more undesirable people move in and the cycle of poverty and neglect continue as the businesses also move out with lack of customers with disposable income.

Why would someone want to live 40 extra minutes from Chicago? We would not like to live in Indiana over Illinois because their isn’t anything there to do. Your preference isn’t everyone’s preference. I like being around well educated diversified people but with more of me. Respectfully….❤

I went to Garfield Elementary in the early 80's on "the hill." If anyone knows what happened to Mrs. Allen (6th grade teacher) please reply. She wasn't old at the time. I'm looking back and realized she was such an awesome teacher. On another note, Starflyer Roller Rink - such great memories!

Thank you for previewing places most of us might never pass through

Beautifully done and full of surprises. Incongruous beyond just about anything I have ever seen, even though I had already watched the first video of Matteson. A shuttered very nice looking near new high school closed after in use for less than 10 years...huh? Lots and lots of commercial property abandoned or underutilized BUT one subdivision after another from fairly new to older with the vast majority of homes well kept up. I have seen a lot of Chris Harden videos but nothing quite like this. I really enjoy and treasure so much the lost footage postings!

You were within a block of my home.

24:30ish Green buttlers isn't open yet.

I'm glad that Matteson voted to become a Home Rule community 2 years ago. I look forward to all the good things to come, because of it. I still pray that they'll one day bring Portillo's to the Village.

It was empty because they hadn't moved the 'new residents' in yet. Go back and check now. Bring a Spanish dictionary.

Matteson is one of the biggest cities ive ever seen. I would love to live there one day

Thank you for pronouncing it the correct way ! So many dumb-asses pronounce it wrong ! If they just listen to the history of the village when it was founded they will know the proper way to pronounce it ! Thank you again !

Pronounced Mate-son, right? Matti-son? Shux, an old GF, who was from there, pronounced it Matison, like "Madison" with a T. But what would she know, having lived there her whole life, except for college. Mattison is better than most places that I lived in Illinois, especially Harvey.
