Schwartz, Jon

Evelyn and Peter Thornton talk about living north of the bayou, and moving due to all the apartment homes that were built in that area. They characterize their current area south of the bayou as friendly, and talk about the reaction to the Jack Caesar bombing. Peter Thornton compares the Hyde Park neighborhood of Chicago to Riverside, south of MacGregor.
