	East Garfield Park
		The designation of the park in 1869 prompted a flurry of real-estate dealing, but after subdividing the property south and east of the park for sale, developers provided neither buildings nor infrastructure.
		Instead, the railroads that described East Garfield Park's northern, eastern, and southern boundaries attracted manufacturers expanding westward from the Near West Side at the turn of the century.
		Finally, a cluster of Chicago Housing Authority (CHA) projects—Harrison Courts, Maplewood Courts, and Rockwell Gardens—delineated the western edge of family public housing in Chicago and the eastern edge of East Garfield Park by 1960.

	Washington Park, Chicago - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Washington Park is a social center of the South Side and hosts many festivals in the summer, including Chicago's best organized cricket league.
		The neighborhood of Washington Park is west of the park itself, stretching east-west from Cottage Grove to Wentworth Avenue, and north-south from 63rd Street to 51st.
		Half of the neighborhood's lots are vacant, reflecting the fact that Washington Park is one of the poorest in Chicago, with a median household income of only $15,000 a year, although there has recently been a surge in gut rehab and new construction condominiums, signaling the fact that the neighghborhood is amidst change.

		CHICAGO — Renee Singletary has noticed a big change since police mounted a conspicuous video camera near the West Side barber shop where she has worked for a decade.
		But as Chicago police expand their $3.5 million "Operation Disruption" — one of the nation's most aggressive uses of surveillance cameras to curb violent crime — residents and lawmakers are divided over whether the cameras are effective or an invasion of privacy that brands their neighborhoods as ghettos.

		Census data and ZIP Codes are tied to the community areas, and they serve as the basis for a variety of urban planning initiatives on both the local and regional levels.
		Seventy-five community areas were defined by the Social Science Research Committee at the University of Chicago during the late 1920s, and at that time corresponded roughly to neighborhoods within the city.
		Community Area designations are useful more than merely as a historical curiosity because they are considered more durable than the names of neighborhoods, which can change over time due to urban redevelopment, gentrification and the constant shuffle and absorbation of the immigrant population.
