On the...Jeff, I don't understand your comment.<br /><br />On the map you linked, Andersonville is NOT in Uptown, as it starts north of Foster, which is the northern border of Uptown. That goes with my understanding as well - I didn't venture up there much, but I always though Edgewater and Andersonville overlapped; not sure how Uptown got brought into it (well, I do know how - Andersonville has more cachet with real estate agents/businesses, so I'm guessing places at 5100 and 5000 North started calling themselves 'Andersonville')<br /><br />Whatever the case, there is no North Wrigleyville. That is ridiculous.<br /><br />Rob Pollardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06778972034830583363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1957537260422450632.post-48220245398841082382013-08-27T20:12:26.368-05:002013-08-27T20:12:26.368-05:00Andersonville does indeed go into both Edgewater a...Andersonville does indeed go into both Edgewater and Uptown. Those are both community areas, and Andersonville is a neighborhood. Andersonville is also and an officially recognized neighborhood by the City of Chicago, and not an "unofficial neighborhood designation." I know it gets tricky with the neighborhood and community area designations, as in some cases they are interchangeable. You can see Andersonville on the map here: <br /><br />http://www.cityofchicago.org/content/dam/city/depts/doit/general/GIS/Chicago_Maps/Citywide_Maps/City_Neighborhoods_poster.pdfJeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14062936716868066944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1957537260422450632.post-24024686693757522532013-08-27T16:15:26.968-05:002013-08-27T16:15:26.968-05:00UpanderwoodUpanderwoodscottohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13855256974135934065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1957537260422450632.post-73734516764265586372013-08-27T13:31:32.032-05:002013-08-27T13:31:32.032-05:00TAINT.

Sure I can twerk with the best of them, yet my twerking is somehow more disturbing yet less offensive.<br /><br />Now one could call S Uptown, Buena Park. I don't even have a problem with N Wrigleyville as it makes some sense. 4800 Clark..........not so much.<br /><br />Kevin,<br /><br />Considering the number of <a href="http://crimeinboystown.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">near daily</a> multiple muggings in Lakeview we might not want to be associated with them. Hopefully the level of mayhem in Lakeview will return to earlier less mayhemic levels. Sure, we lead the way on the northside for multiple victim shootings so we have that and the Target going for us.<br /><br />Here's something I stole from YoChicago that suggests some names for the 4800 block of Clark and some surrounding blocks.<br /><br />The area between Clark and Ashland and Montrose and and Foster TAINT.<br /><br />Taint Uptown, Taint Ravenswood.<br /><br />The 4800 block of Clark should be called Andersonville South as it rapidly is becoming like the blocks to the north.<br /><br />South of Lawrence should be called ASS-Andersonville South South.<br /><br />YoChicago has perhaps the <a href="http://yochicago.com/chicago-neighborhoods/" rel="nofollow">definitive guide</a> to neighborhood boundaries and names.<br /><br />I really don't have a problem with the 4800 block being marketed as South Andersonville. Andersonville is creeping south. It's still part of Uptown just like Buena, Sheridan, or Clarendon Parks. Perhaps to make it more Uptowny we should call it Andersonville Park?<br /><br />IrishPiratehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11339255909419333238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1957537260422450632.post-5565380353106195022013-08-27T12:31:53.868-05:002013-08-27T12:31:53.868-05:00The Sarpino's on Montrose & Clark also bil...The Sarpino's on Montrose & Clark also bills itself as being located in Wrigleyville.
