Heaven in Chicagoland

2/3/2011
I've lived in Forest Park twice and love it. Convenience to Eisenhower and downtown or West Suburbs as I worked in Hillside. I was single male in late 20's with wonderful entertainment. Chicago Bears were the Monsters of the Midway. Excellent grocery shopping with Cub Foods as close as Melrose Park. Grocery and Sunday alcohol for games in one stop. Forest Park Law Enforcement are a breed of their own. Two attempted robberies, one liquor store, one drug store on Madison and Harlem. Forest Park cops busted them without them getting out of our suburb, with shootout against semi auto firepower, our Cops whipped em with their sidearms and had downtown Chicago pick them up for the downtown jail. From 1985 to 1988 two attempted crimes in Forest Park. Respectable young folks with very great business folks trying to make a buck offering a value. Great Bars. Incredible Restaurants so varied in Nationality Cooking along with just good eats. I love Forest Park and would move there now and I'm 51 and single again. Pretty White population, along with Oak Park, just across Harlem. Oak Park is first western suburb of City Limits, Forest Park second. Then Maywood next, poor black, Bellwood just west, Middle Class Black, and so on.
Chicago is my kind of town for life in Business, and Forest Park will always welcome newcomers, even guess exactly where your from by your accent. Like me, Minnesota, I didn't know I had an accent. Got me, N. Minnesota.
