<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Chicago has some wonderful
large parks, Lincoln Park, Washington Park, Garfield Park, Humboldt Park. Big
green places that you can get lost in. However, peppered throughout the
neighborhoods are these little postage stamp parks. Some very tiny, others a block
or two square. We are lucky to live just a half block from two of those. To
the west is Mather Park, always full of high school kids and soccer matches,
and to the north is Green Briar Park. For three years I have been driving past
Green Briar Park and have never set foot inside it, until today. That's because
it was across Peterson Avenue, a four lane very busy street. The only reason I
ever walk across Peterson is to get a hot dog at Wolfy's. All I knew about Green Briar
was that in the late afternoon and early evening hours you could hear the
screams and laughter of children wafting across the busy street. I also knew
that it is where I would vote if I didn't early vote or vote by mail. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">This is the Green Briar Park
field house. Most of Chicago parks have these structures that were built for
many uses. My older brother got his health care at one of these field houses
when he was a baby. Back when many tenements didn't have showers or bathtubs, you could get a shower at the fieldhouse. Here is an excerpt from a WTTW article. <i>"J. Frank Foster
took the job of superintendent of Chicago’s Park System in 1891. Foster had a
much more progressive idea for what a park could be. And he executed that
vision in a system of smaller neighborhood parks that impacted the lives of
Chicago’s working class for the better. These innovative parks were just the
beginning in bringing amenities such as swimming pools, branch
libraries, gymnasiums, ball fields, and fieldhouses offering a wide variety of
programs and services." </i><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>(From
WTTW Channel 11)</i></span></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">On a beautiful, sunny, sixty seven degree February
day, Mark and I took a walk around the West Ridge Nature Preserve. It isn't a
gigantic park, but it is quite nice considering it is wedged in between
Rosehill Cemetery and the Arcadia Terrace neighborhood. Being that it is the
middle of winter, there wasn't much greenery to speak of. Mostly shades of
brown and grey. Still, it is a pleasant sanctuary with ducks, Canadian geese,
and other wild life roaming through the shrubbery. Other than the occasional aroma
of bus fumes wafting through the trees, you wouldn't even know that you're in
the city. Just another part of our diverse neighborhood.</span></span></div>

post-war subdivision. Every house looked exactly like the house next to it. Cape Cod
style homes with the only distinguishing difference between them being the
paint on the outside, and the orientation. Your home was either lined
up parallel to the street or at a ninety degree angle to the street. Our house
was on a ninety degree angle, but that didn't matter. On the outside and the
inside our house was the same as all my friends homes.</span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">In the nineteen twenties, in
Chicago, there was a building boom. Over a hundred thousand brick bungalows,
all very similar, were built. Unlike the place where I grew up, they at least
tried to vary them. Here in Arcadia Terrace we have a lot of those bungalows,
and over on Washtenaw Avenue are two identical bungalows, side by side. At
least they used to be identical. One of the owners apparently needed some extra
room, so they built up. I call it the Pagoda House and I'm not sure if I like
it or not. But at least it's not a cookie cutter look and I think they executed the
idea well.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">At the end of the nineteen
twenties the depression hit and the building boom stalled. I don't think there
were any homes built after 1929 in Arcadia Terrace. After World War Two ended
there was a big housing shortage. Once again building began and any empty lots
in our neighborhood were filled in. Now the nineteen forties two flats weren't
too awful. Not as grand as the ones built in the twenties, but not horrible. By
the mid nineteen fifties and into the sixties however, Chicago was cursed with
some pretty damn ugly residential architecture. Ugly little yellow brick
bungalows that they now called "ranch" houses, and yellow brick two
flats with fake stonework that looked more like hemorrhoids than anything.
There are a number of those around here, but I did notice one over on Washtenaw
that has been redone in a most tasteful manner. They stripped off the face brick
on the front of the building along with the "hemorrhoid" stonework,
and replaced it with nice reddish, brown brick. They also took down the ugly
porch and replaced it with a decent entryway. I like what they did, and it
gives me hope that one day Chicago may be rid of those hideous
"mid-century" monstrosities.</span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"> <br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Our neighborhood doesn't have
as many restaurants as Lincoln Park, Lincoln Square, or Andersonville, but two
of my favorite places are within a half block of our home. Nothing snooty or
high priced about them, but the food is good and I can walk to them. First off
is a place called Pride Sushi. Great service, BYOB, and some downright
amazingly inexpensive sushi done up with an artistic flair.</span></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The other place close to home
is pure Chicago. Wolfy's on Peterson. The best Chicago hot dog that you'll find
anywhere, along with Chicago style Italian beef sandwiches and Italian sausage.
And if you're more into Polish sausage, they have that too, and it's pretty
damn good. The Wolfy's sign is visible from our living room window and in
Chicago that's considered a room with a view. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">This building is on Ardmore, between Washtenaw and Fairfield Avenues. I walk past it almost every day when I'm walking Scout, the terror terrier. I get to see a lot more of the neighborhood when I walk Scout. She's young and can walk a lot longer than my big slug of a dog, Chandler. </span></span><br />
