What is the history of the neighborhood called Roseland Heights and how did it get its name?

The Roseland Heights CommunityBOUNDARIES:Roseland Heights is on Chicago's South Side. Bordered on the south by 99th Place, and to the north 95th Street. State Street/Abbott Park borders it on the west and Cottage Grove/ Chicago State University campus to the east.The Heights HistoryBack in the 1950's Black people worked hard to build and buy homes in what was then outlying communities of Chicago. One such community where Dutch influence had created a south suburb was called Roseland. Just north of it was a distinctive, charming suburban area populated with prairies, wildflowers, pheasants, hollyhocks, phlox flowers and a scattering of nice older homes spaced between empty lots. This setting gave Black people the opportunity to create a community filled with an atmosphere of hope, reflecting small town values and traditions. And so Roseland Heights was born. In this atmosphere of hope many notable Blacks like the CEO of Parker House Sausage, members of the Baldwin (ice cream) and Luster family and Rev. Clay Evens selected to live. They lived here along with other Blacks from janitorial workers to city & government employees. They came together, grew and influenced this community's path. Roseland Heights was an oasis on the south side, yet it was still urban. The community celebrated children, family, and high residential standards. These standards modeled this community as well as those on it's boundaries like Chatham, Roseland, Beverly and Pullman. Today The Heights is still an area of well-kept homes and lawns. People living here all are committed to this "Urban Oasis" many blocks of well defined neighbors, willing and caring people, who are proud homeowners. They show pride in their homes and see the possibilities of hope for their future.

What building was at 4240 N Clarendon in Chicago?

In 1895, a house there was bought by Eugene Field, dubbed "the children's poet" by someone (mebbe his own publisher) or some group. Field died only 5 months after buying the house. In 1926, a large apartment building was constructed on the site, and given the street numbers of 4240-48. Today it is 4240-42. The April 20, 1926, building permit (#4948) shows that the original owners of the apartment building were "Delott & Greenberg" and the architect was "L. Guiser."

I was told by my realtor that it was a swanky hotel in the 1920s.

I heard that it was actually a brothel. Al Capone used to frequent it.

What is the length of the line that represents 6.2 miles if the scale on a map is one inch equals 20 miles?

Use ratios

You can use simple ratios to get the answer. Set up the ratio and then derive an algebraic equation from it that you can easily solve. Here's how.

In English: one inch is to 20 miles as ? inches is to 6.2 miles.

Using ratios: 1 : 20 :: x : 6.2

Note how you use an x to represent the question mark, that is, the unknown quantity. You could have used any letter or symbol, but x is the most common and most familiar.

Now, set up your equation and solve for x: 1/20 = x/6.2

Solving for x:

1/20 = x/6.2

20x = 6.2 (Use "cross-multiplication" to arrange the equation this way)

x = 6.2/20

x = 0.31 inch

So, a line that is 0.31 inch -- a bit less than one third of an inch -- represents a distance of 6.2 miles on your particular map.

OR

DIVIDE 6.2 BY 20

20 GOES INTO 6.2 EXACTLY ==.31

PRETTY EASY EH?

Yall SHUTUP!

How do you become a street musician in Chicago?

Becoming a "licensed" street musician in Chicago is fairly easy. Of course, the Chicago streets, avenues and alleyways are performance stages for a variety of talented musicians, as well as some of dubious musical ability. The serious men and women who want to entertain passers-by and who want to draw a crowd know that it's best to get a Chicago street munsicians licences from City Hall. The always friendy and knowledgable persons who man the information desk just inside the LaSalle Street enterence will gladly direct you to the right department. Street musician's are regulated by Chicago City Ordinance, Municipal Code 4-268. There is a fee of $100.00 that is renewable. While you're forking over the fee, you should inquire about the following from the desk clerk: (1) What do you need to know about potential taxes? You may (and, then again, may not) be responsible for paying amusement taxes and/or a use tax for non-titled personal propery. (2) For what length of time is the license in force? When is it re-newable? How much is the renewal fee? (3) Can I obtain a list, or descriptions, where I can perform? I'm not a licensed Chicago street musician, but I want to be. I've known a couple entertainers who started out on the sidewalks. I suppose it's good practice for standing in front of an audiance. One thing I've noticed is that licensed musicians almost always wear their street performer photo identification card. These are the people for whom I'd rather drop a buck or two. They're probably doing more that just pan-handling. They're sincerely displaying their talents (think the movie ONCE). So, in summary - Talent, Fee, Place. That's about all you need, but you really need all three. Best of luck out there. [Please note that my information came from the City of Chicago's web site and from personal experience.]
