The end of the 5000 block of Osage and Larchwood Aves. is right across from
Black Oak Park.
I shall try to dig up links about "Uncle Pete".
His son, the actor Peter Boyle was the one who grew up in that area. "Joe"
('America: Love It or Leave It'), (Young Frankenstein as The Monster),
"Everybody Loves Raymond" as the father.
Many more motion pictures and television programs I cannot remember right
now.
I'll do my research on his dad.
