Clip: 8/12/2021 | 5m 44sVideo has Closed Captions
We visit Avondale as part of our community reporting series.
The Northwest side community of Avondale is a diverse neighborhood with an industrial history. Located near the Kennedy Expressway and the Chicago River, it has significant Polish, Latino, Eastern European, and Asian populations. And like many parts of Chicago, residents and community leaders are concerned gentrification might displace long-time neighbors.
