The "east side" is the lake... no one ever says "east side." A lot of the more thriving neighborhoods are along the water or at least geographically on the eastern portion of the city... so it's almost redundant in a lot of cases to say "east side." (there are a lot of good neighborhoods in other parts of the city as well, just generalizing.)

From what I understand the crews have been really streamlined now... I don't know how many they have. Maybe three? Someone else will probably now. Many people feel Elmwood Park has been shelved so it might actually just be two or three: Chinatown, Cicero and Grand Avenue.

But I'm not sure that's correct. One of those might have been rolled into another one etc. And probably no one on this board will really know for sure.
