Old Town

By Mel,Maggie,Filip,Heidi

History1) 1850s: German-Catholic immigrants began to

settle here.

1) St. Michael’s Church: 1 of the 7 churches to

survive the Great Chicago Fire.

3) Tense racial division between north of North Ave.

and south of North Ave in the 1970s and 1980s

after the Martin Luther King assassination.

4) Story goes you only really live in Old Town if you

can hear the bells of St. Michael’s church.

It is important to stress that there is no such legal entity

as Old Town. Old Town is where you make it.
