Boxing Club Gives Youth Hope One Punch at a Time

Now that school is out, and summer has officially begun, children can be seen running, playing, and riding their bikes down their blocks; the same blocks where you can hear gunshots, cries, and whispers of retaliation.

In tonight's edition of Biking the Boulevards, Geoffrey Baer takes us through Englewood to give us some of the neighborhood's little-known history.
