I lived in area as a youngster in the mid 60's. It was a lovely neighborhood, primarily Eastern European.
Today, sadly, it looks like a 3rd world slum.
OMGosh we were that close! I use to live at the theater @ Devon & Western. My first bar was near there. Do you remember the park @ Devon & Pratt that had a live zoo? It was a WONDERFUL area. I HAD to move in 99’. I grew up around Little Warsaw
