Neighborhoods on the west side are similar to any other in Chicago. The area always seem gloomy to me‚ but the sun always seems to shine brightest on Sundays. Playing in the backyard of my grandmother’s house while waiting for dinner was something to look forward to. Sunday dinner were always packed with people I barely knew from the neighborhood.
