This book captures the reality of living in Berwyn and Cicero and celebrates the lives of the working-class members of society sometimes so easily overlooked and forgotten. It also explains why these individuals wanted to keep their small, close-knit communities from becoming like the old "changing" neighborhoods in the city of Chicago (which many of them fled). A tribute to the real "working class." It's a must for anyone who wants to delve into the lives of the butcher, baker and other entrepreneurs of a very special era in America's history. It will give you a much deeper appreciation of their struggles and fight to preserve what they built and loved.

Neighborhood

The final work of the acclaimed Chicago Trilogy, this collection of nonfiction tales reveals Sandburg's "city of the big shoulders," concrete and neon; uptown and downtown; State Street, Michigan Avenue; the river, the lake; the matter-of-factness and poetry of Chicago people-from Mike Royko describing his neighborhood to the observations of newspaper vendors, from Studs Terkel interviewing jazz great Dave Brubeck to dinner with Petros in Greek Town. Written with a keen eye, Blei's stories evoke a vanished Chicago, a city of gritty and colorful neighborhoods and their gritty and colorful characters. It is, as he writes, a "love letter to a city that has meant so much to me."Chi Town is the story of Norbert Blei's love affair with a city that shaped both his life and work. Along the route of this walking tour of the Windy City, you'll dine with Petros in Greek Town, see Studs Terkel in action at WFMT interviewing Dave Brubeck, listen to Mike Royko descr
