Brighton park used to be one of those neighborhoods where people just stayed put generation after generation. Everybody knew everyone else. But then came the "white flight" to the suburbs and this video clip is the result.
Watching this makes me sad for a time gone by that won't return and can't be replicated.
The people who originally lived in that neighborhood were not allowed to keep their ethnic culture (white people aren't allowed to have one) and were forced out. But Brighton Park is only one Chicago neighborhood of many that has suffered that fate.
