Pitchfork is here and we’re covering all the angles! @pitchforkfest performer @openmikeeagle on the videos that informed his album-length tribute to the Robert Taylor Homes: "I'm not able to actually go to the place and build a thing, but I can use what I do to bring what I feel is a proper amount of attention and respect to what happened here." Full story by @therealimleor linked in bio. 😽: EMARI TRAFFIE #chicagoreader #chicagogram #chicagomusic #pitchforkmusicfestival #roberttaylorhomes https://ift.tt/2JKlls2

Many people know about Cabrini-Green outside of Chicago, but the Robert Taylor Homes were a massive stretch of high rises along the State Street Corridor from 39th - 54th Streets. Densely packed, the housing project held around 27,000 families in 4349 units at its height in 1965. After dealing with existing (horrible) slum conditions, Barbara Moore and her small, growing family found a home and eventually, community there. #Chicago #history #publichousing #housingproject #roberttaylorhomes #documentary #film #archives #facts #concretechildren #statestreet #housing

After several years of meaning to read this author’s work, I was quite blue after completing Gang Leader for a Day. A literal page-turner: I could hardly put down this true study of not only public policy gone awry, but of friendship that crosses more than physical thresholds. #gangleaderforaday #chicago #chicagohousingauthority #sudhirvenkatesh #bookreview #roberttaylorhomes #sociology https://www.instagram.com/p/BuuelXIB6Vb2JtD7svpcRWCTKbgWRldXO_4VDw0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1j6jhkv52kp9z
