Here are some pictures I took earlier this week in Chicago's East Garfield neighborhood. The research project I work for is expanding to inlcude preschools from different neighborhoods, and so I've been driving around East Garfield doing a block-by-block survey of educational and childcare services, and also just generally trying to get a sense of the place.
Interested in your impressions and photos. There isn't a whole lot left of East Garfield Park neigborhood.
Actually I was surprised how much gentrification seems to be going on in East Garfield, at least to the northwest, near the park. And in general things seem to be better there than in the Lawndale area, just to the south.
