‘Chicago Tonight’ in Your Neighborhood: East Side
Clip: 9/1/2022 | 5m 18sVideo has Closed Captions
How the East Side community got its start, and how it's faring now amid COVID.
The neighborhood is an industrial corridor. It has a long history that dates back decades with the arrival of steel mills that drove hundreds of immigrants to move to the area to work and build. We started by talking to a long-time resident who tells us more about the economic impact of the steel mills shutdown.
