"I remember the days when one would routinely have their car broken into when putting their car in the Blue Ribbon parking lot on the South Side."

We charged 25 cents to park in front of my house. Just a little south of 35th Street on Wells. R.G. Lydy had the cinder parking lot concession on the east side of the ball park, which also served as the neighborhood softball diamond. Miss Mike's Hotdogs on the southwest corner of 35th and Wells. (Late '30's.)

Dose were da days, my friend. Too bad they had to end.

You know, my grandpa grew up in the neighborhood too. I grew up around Harlem and Archer and then eventually moved to nicer areas, such as Naperville (of course, my family was making more money at the time too).
