Driving Around Chicago West Side Hood - "Humboldt Park" Neighborhood in 4k Video

Filmed on Thursday, February 27 2025, I drive around the Humboldt Park neighborhood on the west side of Chicago to see what's going on. The park and neighborhood were named for Alexander von Humboldt who was famed for his five-volume work "Cosmos: Draft of a Physical Description of the World". In the 1970s, Humboldt Park started to became more dangerous with high levels of gang activity, crime, and violence. Overcrowding remains a serious problem, as does gang activity and violent crime. Humboldt Park is the founding grounds for several major gangs, including the Latin Kings, Maniac Latin Disciples, and Simon City Royals, among a number of other gangs with active chapters in the area. #drivingtour #ghetto #chicagotravel
