This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

I saw that when a Google search turned up the history by sorin69

of Englewood linked below. The history of St. Bernard's starts on p. 112. It was startling to see Englewood described as marsh land and to see that requests had to be made to cut down virgin forest in order for a former Baptist church to be moved as the future St. Brendan's, which began life as a mission church of St. Bernard's.
My dad rented the apartment through a law school friend whose family (last name of McKay) owned the building.
A South Sider twice over. Born at Little Company of Mary on 95th St. and a Ph.D. from the U of C in Hyde Park (late 1970s). I remember our dad taking us to watch the Chicago Cardinals play in Comiskey Park. Ollie Matson was their star running back.
