Lakeview
Chicagoans in the 19th century poured north into Lakeview, an agricultural region known as America's celery capital. 新来的人把卡车农场变成了郊区的小区，并于1887年合并为一个城市. 湖景镇无法独立，在独立两年后投票加入芝加哥. The voters were "fools," Lakeview's mayor said, but it was done.
Lakeview grew into a prosperous industrial neighborhood, 泰华施公园大道(Diversey Parkway)和莱克伍德大道(Lakewood Avenue)沿线的铁路上都有工厂(你仍然可以看到铁路的痕迹). A few old businesses survive. Monastery Hill Bindery, founded by a German immigrant before the Fire, along with Dinkel's Bakery, are some of the reminders of Lakeview's German community.
By the 1970s, Lakeview boasted an unusual and shifting population. Old families of German and Swedish stock were joined by American Indians, Southerners, Hispanics, gays, hippies and Japanese Americans. Restaurants like Zum Deutschen Eck co-existed with hillbilly joints, folk bars, taquerias and drag queens. Somehow it all worked.
湖景镇开始定期更换名字，这是中产阶级化即将到来的一个明显迹象. 新城、瑞格维尔、博伊斯敦、贝尔蒙特港、西雅园:有些标签被贴上了，有些没有. Lakeview grew into the neighborhood it is today, a fashionable urban locale with a deep history and a future yet to be written.

Roscoe Village
罗斯科村在19世纪末开始作为一个社区，当时开发商购买了西部大道以西的土地，建造了“世界上最大的游乐园”." Also called Riverview Park, the park officially opened in 1903.
As visitors flocked to the park, businesses began to open along Belmont, Roscoe, and Western to serve the thousands of visitors coming to the park each year. About half of these businesses were bars and taverns. A few dozen amusement park workers also moved to the area and built their homes.
The Village experienced its first boom in economic development around 1920. 框架房屋、砖砌和灰石砌的两套公寓如雨后春笋般涌现，使罗斯科村成为“一个值得去的地方”.”
Found in Roscoe Village are plenty of Chicago's usual offerings—brownstones, bungalows, and factory spaces converted into condos. Nicknamed "The Village Within the City,罗斯科街的主要商业大道提供了大量的当地餐馆和商店.
Schubas Tavern was once a “tied house,” as indicated by the Schlitz sign that remains above its second-floor windows.

It remained a major player throughout the 1940s, 但是，在试图进入当时刚刚出现的圆珠笔领域时，一系列失误严重伤害了该公司. In 1957 the Parker Pen Company acquired Eversharp. The Eversharp name was used for a time, 但没过几年，长毛笔和铅笔就停产了. 前历史地产开发商罗伯特·芬尼根(Robert Finnigan)曾提到1800 W的老厂房. Roscoe St. as "an island surrounded entirely by residential property." That was just before he and business partner Calvin Boender began renovations, in 1988, to transform the then-64-year old building into new loft condos. Today, 罗斯科村铅笔工厂阁楼(Roscoe Village Pencil Factory loft)是该社区最令人羡慕的房产之一, with units rarely available but quickly snatched up when they are. (Credit: Industrial History and Pencil Factoy Lofts)
