East Garfield Park is a mostly low-income, African-American community that sits outside the immediate radius of high-energy gentrification -- at least for now. Located two to three miles west of the Loop on the “El” Green Line, the community’s business sector was devastated and significant amounts of its population fled after the 1968 riots, and the neighborhood has never fully recovered.
