      Nice to see PRican neighborhoods like these, wish we had more of them. Spanish Harlem next! Bronx was home to generations of🇵🇷sad to see how very little has been done to preserve what was once our stomping ground.
      There should be a musem...and murals
      of prominent PRicans...like JLO, Big Pun,Sonia Sotomayor, Alexandria Ocasio Cortez,Tito Puente,Lin Manuel, Rita Moreno, Erick Estrada, Lauren Velez Liz Torres, All NewYorkers!.. many others! Un paseo de la fama in the Bronx asap!✌️🗽🇵🇷
      Great job btw📽!

These days it can be hard to find people saying anything positive about Chicago, so your videos are like a breath of fresh air that reminds us of the beauty of our city. Much love and support to this channel ❤

    I have nothing but beautiful and precious memories of Humboldt park. Going to the parades and festivals with friends. To feeding the birds at the lagoon. And walking the park during the wintertime. There were times I'd go to the park at night and look at the water. Think and reflect. I've seen photos of the park from 100 years ago. And for personal reasons,I'll always take Humboldt park over wicker park any day of the week.

      Little India is a misappropriation…half of Devon is Pakistani, and there are a growing number of Bengali and other South Asian businesses. Calling this neighborhood Little India is disingenuous, or reserved for the same kind of people that call all Hispanic neighborhoods in Chicago Little Mexico. Let’s represent all cultures.

    I grew up there and owned a home on Whipple St. from 1962 to 2010. From my home. it was 50 yds from the park and 100 yds from the 606 bike path. Had to leave because property taxes went up 300%. I still miss the area and wish I could move back but that is now impossible. Pity.

    Just subscribed. Love your videos. Your camera work is great, and your positive enthusiasm really projects through the videos. I lived a few decades by Humboldt Park and Division, and did notice tons of changes--improvements over time. That bakery on Division where you had coffee and that sweet "roll," used to be a Ukrainian Bakery before. After your video, I am going to stop there. Learned a lot of history from this video. Will definitely visit the art museum, and maybe often. I am a member of the Art Institute of Chicago, annual pass. As you probably grew up here, love to see you put together super quality and fun videos. Keep up your wonderful creative work. Oh, you could have mentioned the Humboldt Health Hospital, which as you know was the Norwegian American Hospital until recently. Best of luck to you.

I'm glad you're highlighting the culture and positive aspects because being from out of town I only heard about the gangs in that area and to avoid it but I can't pass up on good Puerto Rican food lmao

    Little League *almost* *got* *hit* *by* *lightening* to going to the Festivals in the summer to visiting my daughter who lives near the park now. Roeser's Bakery is where we Still get our birthday cakes from.
    *Remember* *Folks* Roeser's is closed on Mondays.
    You forgot to mention the tale of
    *Chance* *The* *Snapper* the *Baby* *Alligator* someone abandoned in the lagoon...
    I live all the way out in Beverly on the far Southside now but will be over that way for Xmas & my daughter & grandsons birthday on 12-31 & 1-13.
    *Happy* *Birthday* *Narissa* 🎂 Seeing the area makes me homesick for an Empanadas, Roeser's Bakery and Jimmy's on Pulaski and Grand. Gentrification has his the area almost as bad as it hit my old stomping grounds Wicker Park. Thanks for the trip down memory lane Luis👍🏿
