google street view this place. It really is da hood

1134 South Richmond Street, Chicago, IL, United States

I'll probably get shot as soon as I enter such an area but man, I'd love to visit such a fucked up place someday. It's on my top 10 to-do list, tbh (Sounds kinda weird to wish something like that, I know).

Does a favela fit?

Yeah, defo!

In fact, playing football in the streets of a Brazilian city is another thing I'd love to do in the future. Just like playing basketball on a court in NY.

I have to disappoint you and say is culture is dying very fast.

My father played it a lot, I played very little and my son will probably never play in the street...

Very sad to hear. When I was younger (like 8 years old or so) everything I associated with Brazil was kids playing football.

Here in Austria you rarely see kids playing football on a football field (!) too. TVs, Internet and lots of other stuff are ruining some good stuff our generations used to do. A shame, really.

It is the price of development: cars, industries, tv, internet, etc; makes it all very dangerous and uninteresting and as the time goes by, more and more kids will be prevented from doing so.

When I was a kid (until my 11-12s), I lived in a dead end street. I used to go back from school (I used to even go to it wearing futsal boots so I didnt have to change at home, lol), drop my backpack at home and go to the street play with my friends. We spent the whole afternoon playing 'taco' (Brazilian cricket), kite, football and even basketball (my buddie's dad bought us a hoop). Now (and the worst part is that I am not an 80 yo saying this, I still have 19!), all I see are people with their iPhones and iPads or even their Playstasions and Xbox. I mean, come on, where is all the fun?

Now, whenever I want to play football, I either have to rent a fucking pitch or I need to drive almost 100km to get out of the city. What the fuck is that? Absolutely horrific. How are young people going to have fun? From what I feel, they dont even see each other after school. They go online to talk and play. Then, we see lonely boys all over the internet (not intended to anyone in the forum). Where are the days friends spent the whole day at each other's house and have sleep overs? How can you build a strong friendship without having fun together and sharing secrets or talking about pretty girls at school?

My cousin who is 13, knows nothing of what I just talked about. He hasn't lived any of this. He doest know how to ride a bicycle nor a skate. When I was his age, the amount of distance I had ridden on both was enough to reach Stamford Bridge. He also rarely go out with his friends nor invite them to sleep or anything. This is not normal in my world...

Tell me, if things be in the future if things continue to follow this path, I fear for my possible kids!

EDIT: I live in a big city, so in other places of Brazil, this still happens a lot. I just fear for how long though!

Alone on ANZAC Day. Everything feels kind of hollow. No BBQ, no ANZAC biscuits, no games of two-up, no beers, no games of pool at the pub. I hate this. Just sitting in my room watching the Dawn Service at Gallipoli.

Bah.

That's all I have to say tonight.

What the fuck is this shit? I'm not Scottish. Sure my facial hair has a red tint to it but that does not give you the right to insult me so harshly.
