This is an article of The Chicago Reader written by journalist Ben Joravsky who takes a look at a meeting held in Hyde Park where many residents of the community along with representatives of some of Hyde Park’s development committees where present. There, they discussed the issue of a vacant lot adjacent to an elementary school, which provoked uproar of demands between using it for commercial development, residences, educational use, or even a park. This article set the backdrop for Hyde Park’s inner-political layout, as readers are able to recognize a bi-polar atmosphere within Hyde Park between commercial developers and regular residents. It also gives a brief history of how issues like these are all tied to the beginning of Hyde Park’s urban renewal in the 1950’s. I will use this source to highlight some of the different political and economic interests of residents and committee leaders. With this article, I am also able to introduce the history of some of these organizations to my audience, as their histories intimately relate to Hyde Park’s contemporary conversations of development plans and current local concerns.
