Talk:Chicago/Far Southeast Side

Hotels
I've tried calling this one a few times - usually no answer, but this last time it went to a private residence, so I'm officially giving up on it. (WT-en) Gorilla Jones 17:52, 28 October 2007 (EDT)




 * I need to get pricing for this place, but before I forget:



Closed listings
Bah, this is the Far Southeast Side buy listing to end all Far Southeast Side buy listings, but they're currently closed (only have an online presence). Hopefully they'll be back in the near future.



I'll salvage this one too&mdash;someone's bound to open it again, since it would be the only bar in the area.

 * I hate closed listings in this part of town. Old places close, but new ones don't open up... I suppose there are probably more extremely OtBP eat places in East Side that I haven't found. --(WT-en) Peter Talk 17:43, 2 October 2010 (EDT)



Huh, I guess the Salvadoran community left East Side—all three of the pupuserías that I knew of are gone:

"Pullman hell" quotation
I was just involved in a brief dispute on Wikipedia about the "Pullman hell" quotation. Someone had added the "Pullman cemetery" clause but the source I found (The Pullman State Historic Site) did not include it. I see the cemetery part here too, though, so now I'm not sure.

I found a Google Books result that includes the cemetery clause, but the author does not cite a source. In fact, most of the top Google Books results include the phrase (including one that uses "graves" and deviates from the standard wording for the other clauses as well)&mdash;but one would think the State Historic Site would be authoritative. One of them does provide a source, but it's another book, The Bending Cross, that I can't read online (written 1989).

So after all that, it's probably harmless enough either way we quote it, although I'll probably bring this research over to Wikipedia and see what they think about it.
