Calling the AV's turf Andersonville in the early 80s seems like a stretch to me. That was Ravenswood back then. Some of these folks used to bowl at Diversey River when I was a kid btw, they weren't a super hard core gang.

Most gangs weren't.
They where just neighborhood crews that drank and smoked.
Crack changed things.

I hate gangs. We don't need them. I don't understand the gang mentality in this town. This stuff has been embedded for so long that some Chicagoans think its normal. I don't care if they are quiet. Run them out of the city.
