Good day. I appreciate the contributors to the "Favorite Asian" post. I wanted to get some feedback from you great people. I understand that there is no "authentic" Italian neighborhood in Chicago like there was 30 + years ago. But, nonetheless, I'd like to identify some areas that have had that history and/or feel, that are still in some level of existence today, and see what you like about them:
1.) "Little Italy" (kind of an obvious one): Taylor Street between Morgan and Ashland.
2.) Bridgeport/Armour Square: 26th to 35th Streets, along Princeton Avenue.
3.) Heart of Chicago/Heart of Italy: S. Oakley Avenue, from 24th Street to Blue Island Avenue
4.) Grand Avenue from Halsted to Ashland
5.) Harlem Avenue (along the Elmwood Park border) from North Avenue to Belmont (ish)
6.) I GET TO ADD THIS ONE!: Edison Park near Oliphant and Northwest Avenue

Any favorite memories, restaurants, stores or anything else you'd like to share?
