Chicago's Southside
The Mexican population in the city of Chicago has a vast influence primarily on the city's south side. 26th St. in the city's Little Village community has the 2nd highest gross income second only to Michigan Ave. Magnificent Mile. The other Mexican community is Pilsen. The communities border one another allowing the scents of their restaurants, the sounds of music, and the murals on the sides of buildings give color to these communities. However, recently these communities, Pilsen more so than Little Village have been experiencing heightened gentrification. So my recommendation to those who have never been, is get there quick before the local color is lost forever
