Norwood Park, Chicago
|
|
Norwood Park is a middle-class neighborhood on the far Northwest Side of Chicago, Illinois. Home to many of the city's firemen and policemen, Norwood Park is known especially for its abundance of green: lawns, parks, churchyards, and trees are its visual hallmarks. It is also among the most ethnically homogenous - and Republican - of all Chicago communities. With its own historical society as well as a large, wooden sign marking entrance to the neighborhood, Norwood Park's greatest attribute is probably the sense of community shared by its residents.
