Center of the Universe

The intersection of 119th Street and Indianapolis Blvd. Do to its proximity to Chicago, during the 1930s this was one of the busiest intersections in the country. There was once the architectural landmark of the Illiana Hotel but it was demolished during the early 90s. The only remenant of its long vibrant history is one of the orginal White Castles. Even though the term is used sarcastically by young people in their twenties, there are remenents of truth in it.

Boulevard House

This definition dating from the jazz age is a house on the major street where all the action is. People living there would near fine restaurants, live music and nightclubs. Out your window you would see people wearing their sunday best as they walked down the boulevard.

Life was never better than when we lived at the boulevard house.

One thing I miss about the boulevard house is looking out the window and seeing all those people dressed to the nines.
