I see that you have added Dunham Park to the sets. I had heard a story about Dunham Park Gaylords that I wonder if it was fact or urban legend. There was suppose to be a down black Gaylord that was a member of Dunham. He was so down he had a GL Tattoo. According to the story, Dunham Park Gaylords did not have many gangs surrounding them that were willing to fight, so this black Gaylord use to take the other DGLN down to the projects on Lake and challenge the Vicelords to fights. It was said that the DGL's went down and fought with the Vicelords under the Lake "L" many times. This was before the People Folk Nations were formed. Legend has it that the Vicelords through schools arranged a meeting between the themselves and Dunham Park, and DGL's were told that they were the crazy whiteboys, and that even the police did not come into the projects on lake. It was said that the DGL and the Vicelords became friends and that Vicelords and Gaylords would not fight in the mixed schools in Chicago. Is this true or a urban legend? Great website!

If I remember right the Hell's Devils were in Dunham Park in the 80's, before the Folks/People thing. Did they turn GL? Or did the Hell's Devils just dissolve and the GL's claimed the park?
And if there is a 712 party, where was it last year? I might use up some "use it or lose it" vacation time to fly out there and attend.
There was a black DGL called "whitey". I think his name was Glen.
they were down for the neighborhood.
Yeah you got it! I heard the story that Whitey and Dunham were in control of their neighborhood, that they had to leave the area to fight other sets. I heard they use to fight Vicelords down under the Lake "L". No one got killed, and alliances were formed with the ViceLords even before the People/Folk Nations were formed. Thanks for the verification!
THE SP GAYLORDS USED TO FIGHT THE VICE LORDS AT STEINMETZ ALL THE TIME.WHEN HAROLD WASHINGTON GOT ELECTED MAYOR THE SPGLs SHOT 3 OR 4 BLACKS WETHER THEY WERE VICELORDS OR NOT I DONT KNOW.APE FROM THE GL GOT STABBED AND THEN JAWS AND BUGGS RAN LIKE 5 BLACK DUDES OVER WITH A CAR ON WELLINGTON RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE SCHOOL
his name was glen he was of mixed heritage and a good friend the tattoo you speak of was GLeN. and was in fact from montrose and narraganset. although spent alot of time down the street at dunham. also we would fight any mother fuckers that wanted some. good times ,good friends,all of who still speak every once in a while. all still live in the neighborhood ,but have respectable jobs, familys ,kids. hells devils were at dunham in the 70's. but did not exist in the 80's.
