Greater Grand Crossing

Sitting eight miles from the Loop, Grand Crossing is a neighborhood on the South Side of Chicago. It's part of Greater Grand Crossing, which includes other small pocket neighborhoods, like Parkway Gardens and Park Manor. Although the neighborhood still includes remnants of hard times, there exists a strong sense of community. Residents come together to clean up the city via a youth center. In addition, this neighborhood is home to a 2-unit brownstone where famed gangster Al Capone lived with his wife and mother.
