 Hyde Park, Chicago - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hyde Park was founded by Paul Cornell in the 1850s near the Illinois Central Railroad south of Chicago.
In fact, by the 1950s, Hyde Park was suffering from the economic decline that was affecting much of the South Side -- a decline that began during and after World War I, with the Great Migration of African-Americans from the southern to the northern states.
Hyde Park is generally defined as bordered by Cottage Grove Avenue on the west, 51st Street (also known as East Hyde Park Boulevard) on the north, 61st street on the south, and the Lake Michigan shoreline on the east.

 HYDE PARK PARAKEETS (Myiopsitta monachus)
Chicago probably has the harshest winter monk parakeets face in the world, and it has been speculated that they survive exclusively on bird seed in backyard feeders during the coldest months (Hyman and Pruett-Jones 1995).
The U.S. Dept. of Agriculture attempted to eliminate the Hyde Park parakeets in 1988 but were thwarted by community protests and a threatened lawsuit and had to give up their plan.
The Hyde Park parakeets are one of the most interesting groups due to their location in such a cold urban environment.

 Hyde Park: Chicago's next restaurant zone? - SkyscraperCity
But Hyde Park, a largely well-to-do neighborhood (bounded by 44th Street, 60th Street, Cottage Grove Avenue and the lake) that for years has been underserved by the restaurant community, is poised to become, within a year or three, a legitimate dining destination.
Negatives include a lack of parking, and the fact that Hyde Park's concentration of wealth is surrounded by neighborhoods with a conspicuous lack of wealth (which, as noted before, is changing) and attendant crime issues.
And many of the available storefronts in Hyde Park have not been home to restaurants before; bringing such places up to code is much more expensive than converting a previous restaurant space into a new concept.
