Fun stuff. I'd guess that the meat purveyor is true southside, perhaps in the fifties or sixties, with the hot dog joint a bit north of there. The rest would be considered westside by most Chicagoans -- or at least by the Chicagoans I grew up with. I think the unofficial boundaries of the

I totally agree with your geographical comments below. I used the term southwest side in a very broad sense because of our international audience. I didn't see the need to go into specifics because most wouldn't know what I was talking about. Though when I do my little round up at the end

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
