Anyone here have any stories,memories,interests regarding this neighborhood area? Anyone ever lived there,visited there,studied the area? As a Farrell fan I've become somewhat fascinated with the place and wondered if there were others as myself.

My father (b. 1917) lived across the street from St. Anselm's at 61st and Michigan. My uncle, who will be 100 in January, started school in the neighborhood. They moved to South Shore in the early 1920s.

They were there when all the changes started happening. Of course the area today is but a shell of its former self and has stayed decimated all these years. Do you know if either your father or uncle knew any of the people in Farrells novels?
