Hey! I live in Galewood! OK, Mont Clare really. But you would not be wrong in either case. People see/hear about Chicago (the city, not burbs) and think it is just deep dish, The Bean, and crime. But out here in the bungalow belt, it is working class schlubs just living quiet lives. Aka, the REAL Chicago. If you want a better picture, look up "Blues Brothers Mrs. Tarantino". Yes, I know that's Cicero, but close enough. If you drove that street today, nearly 50 years later, you'd think no time has passed at all.

Isn’t that the story of most “suburbs”? Nice place to live, wouldn’t want to visit?
I'm just being a snooty communist from Oak Park.
