Hyde Park

So, most expansively, what I’d call Hyde Park extends from 47th Street to the Midway and from Lake Michigan to Cottage Grove. Some people really emphasize the distinction between (South) Kenwood and Hyde Park, but I don’t.

For almost 60 years, Hyde Park has been a proud, wholly artificial-seeming bubble in the midst of a sprawling black ghetto. 120 years ago, it was a swamp plus a thousand tons of earth dumped into the lake, conveniently accessible via rail. Today, portions of it need to be saved (or paved). Every tenth adult you meet is one of those eternal University hangers-on, while another tenth have made their relations with it (the University, that is) work.

There are grad students, working people, crackheads, neoliberals, and modestly successful 53rd Street gangsters… Think lakefront high-rises and walk-ups on 54th… There are bars on 55th Street, two Thai restaurants for every Thai person, bookstores on every major E-W thoroughfare, and like maybe even too many coffee shops, including that 24-hr Dunkin’ Donuts just off Dorchester – not to mention the whole Obama thing.

So, what is there to define that I cannot fully define? The parks are beautiful, the winters are frigid. We’re on the South Side, so you should root for the White Sox. I like it, I really do.

Hyde Park: halfway between Englewood and Evanston, locked in its own strange subspace. The neighborhood that sort of works.

nonsuch park

An enchanting area of natural beauty, found in Cheam, Surrey. Nonsuch Park (also known as "np") is the home to a charming mansion house and acres of delightful lawns, gardens, woodlands and muddy bogs.

Negative points include the fact that perverts hide in the bushes near Nonsuch School, and pikeys sometimes hang out in the bits towards North Cheam.

"Shall we go for a walk in np?"
"Yay!"

Floral Park

Small town on the border of Queens and Nassua filed with a healthy mix of drunk and sexed up wiggers/punks/preps (as well as the rest of the generic population.) To those above the age of 30, Flo Po may seem like a future parent's dream land. To those under the age of 18 (or without a liscense), it worst place on Long Island to live. Esp to those teenagers that attend Floral Park Memorial.

The cops are real assholes in Flo Po.

Ji-Sung Park

Fuckin' brilliant South Korean midfielder who joined Manchester United from PSV Eindhoven. His song has to be one of the best terrace chants ever invented!

Ji-Sung Park has one of the best terrace songs ever invented... (I suspect Pete Boyle made it up, as ever...)

Park, Park, wherever you may be
You eat dogs in your home country
But it could be worse...
You could be Scouse...
Eating rats in a council house!!!
