Born and raised in Chicago on the Southwest side. This will date me but when I went to Bogan HS, we had National Merit Scholarship finalists, National Honor Society members, and many went on to college.

Last time I visited Chicago in 2006, Bogan looked like a prison and is a technical school or something.

My dad went to Crane HS, and won a full scholarship to the University of Chicago.

Some years back, he told me I wouldn’t survive a stroll through his old neighborhood.
