@SubxNews Wow, I remember going there in high school in 95, to buy my graffiti fat caps from that spot and records.. This just unlocked a core memory for me!

Triple XXX (1993) Milwaukee Ave, North Ave & Damen Ave ... Before Gentrification
Here's a cool video of the vibe in and around Triple XXX, 1588 N Milwaukee Ave, and Literary Explosion (Lit-X), 1570 N Damen Ave, at the busy six-corner intersection of Milwaukee Ave, North Ave & Damen Ave.
The video starts at the vibrant and busy intersection of Milwaukee Ave, North Ave & Damen Ave. Doug Sawyer absorbs the lively atmosphere surrounding the Triple XXX. He captures footage of the advertisements and posters displayed in the storefront windows.
Inside Triple XXX, a few local guys are engaged in a cypher while Doug explores the various artworks and clothing offered in the shop. One of the artists proudly displays his sketchbook and mentions his intention to create silk-screen shirts there.
At about 17:30 into the video, Doug steps outside for a look at the Triple XXX signage and the general atmosphere. He then makes his way downstairs to Literary Explosion (Lit-X), a bookstore located in the basement of 1570 N Damen Ave.
The owners of Literary Explosion, Kendell Lloyd and his wife AnneMarie, provide a short overview of the culture, hip hop education, and lifestyle. Lit-X was situated just below Triple XXX, and the two establishments worked closely together.
The video wraps up by displaying the inside of the bookstore, highlighting a range of books (mostly Afrocentric). The walls are adorned with numerous photos of customers, friends, and local artists.
Lit-X was a hub for many of Chicago's contemporary performers, hip-hop, and urban visual artists. It was probably most popular for its poetry slams.
Neighborhood clubs such as Anotha Level @ Lit-X and the Guild Complex at the Chopin Theater, 1543 W Division St, offered weekly and monthly poetry competitions, commonly called "slams."
A 1993 article by Leah Eskin noted Chicago's first one-stop hip-hop shop will be ready to bop Saturday. Triple XXX, an equal mix of rap, jazz, and reggae outlet, gear shop, politically correct bookstore, classroom, and poetry center, is taking over the empty Rainbow Donuts storefront.
"What brings us together is not just the music; it's the culture, youth uprising—it gives us a common ground," says Bobby Sox (Norbert Caillouet), 32, one of five friends who schemed to open their hip-hop haven to share the hip-hop ideal of racial harmony, multicultural understanding, and good music.
A 1997 article by Rosalind Cummings-Yeates reported, "Every two weeks, we would clear out all the books and incense and throw hip-hop parties," said Kendell Lloyd, 29, owner of Another Level @ Lit-X, which has become the epicenter of Chicago's hip-hop and poetry movement.
He opened the bookstore five years ago with a lofty goal in mind. "Our mission was to link hip-hop and knowledge together," Lloyd said. "I wanted young brothers and sisters to read."
The video was recorded in 1993 by video maker Doug Sawyer gathering footage of everyday Chicagoans for a television show. "Chicago Slices" was a local, Chicago-based television series from the 1990s that featured short videos about interesting and offbeat local people. It aired on Sunday nights at 10 p.m. on channel 50.

@TheJoeySwoll @CubsZone @JesseRogersESPN I agree ☝️ I also think we need more power from our 3B, and a closer. It might be time to go shopping for these positions and see what we can do for Shaw..
English

@CubsZone @JesseRogersESPN Love Mo Baller, love him but we need a Schwarbs bat and power now. The Cubbies are built to win now when healthy. Trade Mo Baller while value is high and get some good pitching. Schwarbs for 5 or 6 yrs is worth his bat especially at Wrigley. 💯

@birdieguru @CWBChicago No, it’s not. I have a condo block away from there. That’s the West Loop. That’s one of the richest neighborhoods in Chicago. So tell me you’re not from Chicago, without telling me that you’re not from Chicago. WY is actually a magnet school you gotta be smart to get in.

@CWBChicago That’s a tough neighborhood…. plus it’s not like CPS has taught students anything
😳😵💫🥴🙈

God Speed RYNO! Nothing like growing up as a kid in the 80’s watching you play a game we all loved on WGN during those summer days! RIP LEGEND #23

Super Sky Point to Ryne Sandberg, my favorite second baseman of all time. I will never forget the countless hours tuned into WGN with Harry Caray and Steve Stone during those beautiful childhood summers that lasted forever. Before we knew how fast time actually flies and that our heroes don’t live forever. He could hit, he could field, and he did it all with class. Ernie Banks may be Mr. Cub but Ryno capably took that mantle for my generation. Somewhere in my heart it’ll always be 1984, Harry will always be three sheets to the wind while looking for blondes in the bleachers between pitches, and Ryne Sandberg will always get the clutch hit or make the great defensive play to save the day. That’s how I remember it because that’s how it was. Nobody ever wore Cubbie blue better. St. Peter, don’t throw this man fastballs. But I’m sure Bruce Sutter already told you that. #RIP
