Shbobdb posted:Chicago has a couple of cool communities that were designed for people to live, work and play in them. They needed to be downtown for reasons but were built in the era of White Flight so they were designed to be isolated patches in the larger city. Plus it was supposed to provide a solution to Chicago weather. Are you talking about spots like this weird neighborhood bounded by Polk, State, Roosevelt, and Clark? It's almost a gated community; difficult to find your way in except by two or three small entrances. The entire west side of it is walled off, the south side is bounded by an overpass, the east side by dense housing, and the north side by a former train station turned into a failed mall. I feel like it was a white-flight era fortress, but I can't find a history of it. The Near South Side has a bunch of them, from what I understand. Edit: Ah, it's called Dearborn Park, and here's a crummy history of it from two seconds of googling. Flip Yr Wig fucked around with this message at 23:32 on Dec 9, 2016 |
