^This location looks to be between Oak St. & Walton St. just west of Orleans. Before WWII, this area, better known as the Cabrini-Green complexes was a ghetto of the worst kind known as "Little Sicily" an Italian slum, also dubbed "Little Hell." So at the time the new C.G.high rise projects were a great improvement, little did they know what they had created.^
