note the lack of graf/tags/stickers on the mailbox, lamp-post or box... this is definitely the upper east side ;)

piranha erem: what is the red post?

GGP: 28th Jul 2005 - 18:33 GMT

the red post is an old fire alarm system used to contact the fire dept. in an emergency...a system now long-defunkt.

Laura: 29th Jul 2005 - 01:43 GMT

Ah.... Papaya King. 86th and Lex is my subway stop. I've been eating papaya king forver- my third word was "hotty-di." Recently, though, my cravings for papaya king have gotten the better of me. I was on the Papaya King Diet (nothing but) for a week or so..I have had to change my route home so as not to walk by the place on my way home. Its so good, though!

GGP: 29th Jul 2005 - 02:22 GMT

very good. a part of my growing up in this neighborhood.
back in the 1960s and 1970s, across the street, was a German beer and frankfurter place called BERLIN BAR. Incredible franks and orange and grape drinks. 2 hot dogs, plus a drink, for a $1.50, if memory serves.

I've just finished reading there are no children here. I'm from Canada and have never been to Chicago. I've always thought life in our housing communities were tough, but realize they are nothing compared to what goes on in the states. I believe it takes a village to raise a child and although the henry horner projects was no village for children to be raised in, it produced alot of strong survivors.

Resse 2245 W Lake St: 2nd Aug 2009 - 18:23 GMT

I remember hanging out under the building with both Mr. Cobb & Mr. Porter, I had great times in the jets. We were like family everyone look at for each other. I went to the HHR in Union Park and it was nice catching up with old friends. I am a true survior of HH and because of the things I went thru or saw growing up shaped me in to the person I am today.

Mr. Eng Teach.: 16th Nov 2009 - 03:07 GMT

I hope none of you mind, but with your permission I would love to use some of these posts for discussion in my English class. I teach English and we are currently reading There are no Children Here. I am truly amazed and touched by the openness from so many of your posts. I can not say that I fully understand the severity of your individual situations, but just by reading all of these makes it so much more clear. I live in NW Indiana. I grew up in South Bend, In, an area that is notorious for gentrification, gangs, and a corrupt welfare system. Anyway, if by chance any of you would like to talk with me, let me ask you a few questions, share personal experiences or anything at all about life, relation to the Rivers, life in one of the homes, well you would never know the amount of impact it would have on my students because they just do NOT get IT. They need to realize that life is not what is always appears, and stereotypes are created to be proved wrong. Please, if you wouldn't mind, be that person that speaks to me. I am a simple 26yr old teacher. I could really use your help. Email me if you would like. Thanks...dhadary@cps.k12.in.us or dhadary18@hotmail.com
