    My dad family is from those projects, and my uncle used to tell me about the Spinks family there, how the projects changed overnight from nice to HORRIBLE. My dad told me how the National Guard had to come there to defuse issues because the police used to get murdered in there. No jobs, no schools, no opportunities to better the life of you and loved ones, unless you move out of the city. St. Louis has been a rat hole for people of color long before I was born, and they still don't have anything to hang their hat on. So many stories about the Pruitt-Igoe Projects, sad but true.

    As a teenager, I used to tell Woods that I’ma buy a Silverado SS and race him. At the time, he had the Ford Lightening and a 95 Impala. He used to reply, “That MF don’t run lol”.
    Nowadays, I just wish peace to him. I keep a railroad conductor hat on my dashboard in honor of Woods.
    Rest In Peace: Lil Jimmy and peace to Angie, Keith, and Von.

      RIP to Lil Jimmy.
      I remember being young and riding in the car with Big Jim (that’s what we call him). My grandmother seen me and when I came in the house, she asked what I was I doing with him. I replied, he has a son around our (my friends) age. At the moment, that’s when I started finding out who he was.
      I’m from the 27JCPB, in the JVL. 😉

    My dad's side of the family grew up here. This was the most dangerous place I've ever seen in my entire life. While I was there as a kid we would be playing and often hear gunshots. It's the place I saw my first murder victim (dude got shotgunned to the face, his entire head was obliterated). People used to get shot or killed around there on an almost daily occurrence. Everybody knew everybody. I lived there during the beginning of the crack era.

  • @brianhardy2502
    @brianhardy2502 9 месяцев назад +2

    Seems like this is more about the projects than the person! Understandable. What makes this place unique and seperates it from other notorious high rise housing projects in cities like Chicago, Detroit, Newark Jersey City, Patterson, NYC, Boston, Newark, Philly and Baltimore is that its height of violence occured nearly 20 yrs before similar violence spiked in these other places! It was also torn down and nothing but a memory like 30.yrs before they started tearing the others down! Way before the crack era! Also..these are the only high rise projects I heard of this far south! I know..people gonna be like what about LA, New Orleans, Miami, Memphis, Birmingham etc projects. I'm not trying to say they wasnt wild af! They was! ESPECIALLY LA and New Orleans! All I'm saying is for people from NYC, like me, and other large cities when we say "The projects" we visiualizing building like 8 to 18 stories in groups of 4 to 40 buildings spread out over a large area! True concrete jungles! With dangerous dark hallways, stairways and broken elevators covered in grafitti! Smelling like piss! What you see in these other cities look more like regular apartment complexes where we come from! For these reasons Pruitt-Igoe is legendary! I KNOW it was some next level money getters! Gangsters and hitmen up in there! It didnt even make it past '75🤔 Housing projects didnt even have a bad name yet! Respect St Louis!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
