I figured you knew all about eastside and westside, just reminiscing about the old hometown. I would have guessed you got a bit further south than Cicero, based on the meathouse, but that's certainly typical of that town, which was once heavily Polish if memory serves. I remember going to Cicero in the sixties to watch ML King march into town, which was a very segregated place in those days. I hadn't made the move to participation at that time, just observing.
