Chicago's Logan Square section was known for its Greaser Gangs. From the 1950's until 1990, greaser gangs fought turf wars against each other and then against the influx of Latino Gangs such as the Spanish Cobras, Imperial Gangsters, Maniac Latin Disciples, Latin Lovers, Latin Stylers, and all Folk Nation gangs. By the late 1980's, greaser gangs like Chi-West, Simon City, Cortland Stacies, Bel_Airs, Taylor Street Jousters and the Playboys, no longer held turf in Logan Square.

The last of the White Greaser gangs to hold turf in the Logan Square section
area was the Palmer Street Gaylord's. Palmer Street held the area of Palmer Square, Palmer Street and California, respectively. Palmer Street, unlike other Gaylord sections, wore the colors black and gray, and were responsible for starting the Cleveland School, Seeley and Ainslie, and the Hamlin and Wilson Gaylord's. Tripp and Armitage was another spin off of Palmer street in 1969-70-71. Pictures taken from the 1970's and into the early 1980's.

Today, a few Latino gangs hold turf in Logan Square, but for how long? The neighborhood is fast becoming gentrified and streets that were once considered a slum area are being brought and renovated by business people working in the Loop.
