Head over to 252 W. 26th St. (near S. Princeton Avenue) to check it out for yourself. On the menu you'll also find the Vesuvio Italian Classic sandwich with breaded chicken breast, barbecue wings and Chicago-style hot dogs.

    As others have said, call 911 in mass (and get others to do the same) always giving details of the people involved, as well as getting the name of whomever you are speaking with on the call. All that said, the sad reality is that it's a slow, painful process....

    As others have said, call 911 in mass (and get others to do the same) always giving details of the people involved, as well as getting the name of whomever you are speaking with on the call. All that said, the sad reality is that it's a slow, painful process. There are a few trouble areas in my neighborhood and neighbors consistently call 911 and complain to the alderman with little avail. Things have definitely gotten better, but not at the pace you would think/hope. There's sometimes little accountability and a general sense of apathy towards loiterers who can have a major effect on an area.

Record Row ... NOT Motor Row

by Douglas_Peep

As more and more development and investment continues to flood the South Loop area, I can't help but wonder if anyone will discuss Record Row -- the TRUE identity of what everyone seems to want to brand "Motor Row."

"Record Row" is the more relevant history for this area of Chicago. If the powers that be were smart, the strip along Michigan near McCormick's new 'Entertainment District' should really become a cultural corridor for Chicago, celebrating the historical Jazz and Blues contributions that line that entire strip. Nashville has Broadway Street ... New Orleans has Bourbon Street .... why on earth doesn't Chicago have something similar????

There's a great documentary on this strip if anyone is interested.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aC7qXuoI-Wo

    Record Row
    Record Row - Was produced by WTTW in Chicago (PBS) and aired in February 1997. I happened to tape it. Lost my tape a few months ago and then discoved that Record Row had disappeared from the earth more or less. Found one copy in a small college's library somewhere in the south but not available for loan.

    I feel once we are past the negative perceptions of the area and truly embrace the great history of Bronzeville we will be rewarded in ways that are innumerable, if and when the resources are put in the promotion of what happened here. As a people we have never excluded even as we were not included. What concerns me is that this should be on the front of the consideration of the tourism bureau's investment portfolio, lets consider this area as an asset and as something to present to the World for celebration.If you can have art festivals, rib festivals and so on in the North side neighborhoods, why not have these festivals in the Southside venues.

    Ray of Bronzeville

    The History and the greatness of Bronzeville is what we have to preserve, if we let this area become anything other than an Historical area then we have lost a great treasure.

St. Jerome’s benefits from a significant education gift; construction also planned

    Women who voted for a man that loathes and uses women, loves crotch grabbing, is on his 3rd wife, who has physically abused his first wife, are blind to reality. There is a long list of negatives about this simple-minded man. They voted for him anyhow. I can see men voting for him, because they have the same views as he does. They are scared of equality. Republican women don't want equality. They are followers, and/or afraid to speak up. Again, I have a list of over 200 anti-female quotes spit out by misogynist Republican males. I'm not going to waste my time posting the rest of them. The few I posted gave you enough info. I will respect Republican women when they begin to respect themselves. I'm closing the book on this conversation.

‘Top Chef’ Champ Joe Flamm Reveals His Favorite South Side Chicago Restaurants

by Eater Chicago on March 19, 2018

Ricobene’s, 252 W. 26th Street: Open late, customers will find that famous breaded steak sandwich. It’s a reliable neighborhood spot for Flamm.

This article has 3 other Chicago locations (Show)

Vito and Nick’s Pizzeria, 8433 S. Pulaski Road: This pizzeria may be the best example of Chicago’s square-cut tavern style thin crusts. The pizza and frosted beer glasses put Vito and Nick’s on Flamm’s “all-time list.”

Palermo’s of 63rd, 3751 W. 63rd Street: This is one of two pizzerias on the list, as Chicago’s pizzas are superior...

Billy’s Grill, 3711 W. Columbus Avenue: Near 83rd Street and Southwest Highway, Flamm called Billy’s “little hamburger stand in Chicago that nobody knows.” It’s a small diner with smashed burgers that Flamms craves.

    'Top Chef' Champ Joe Flamm Reveals His Favorite South Side Chicago Restaurants
    Fans of Top Chef champion Joe Flamm will continue to see the Chicago native this summer on television as Spiaggia's executive chef will appear as a judge on Top Chef Junior. Only days after his win against fellow South Sider Adrienne Cheatham, Flamm - armed with precious little sleep - was filming scenes for Bravo's child-centric spinoff.

The L Stop

by NancyD PR director at Robert Morris University

Each quarter the culinary students at Robert Morris University, 401 S. State Street, open a pop up restaurant with a different theme and menu. Students do everything from selecting the food choices, designing the menu, ordering supplies, cooking, serving and cleaning. This quarter, our theme is "The L Stop" with courses from different neighborhoods of Chicago. Our quarters last ten weeks, but we need the first couple weeks to set up and the last couple to evaluate and critique. Open only on Thursdays, reservations recommended. This is a fantastic experience for our culinary students!
