West Ridge / West Rogers Park Past and Future – Chicago Neighborhood

This is a very interesting and well done documentary produced by the Jewish Neighborhood Development Council about the West Ridge / West Rogers Park neighborhood that includes a fair amount of history as well as current activity driving the popularity of this neighborhood particularly among the Jewish Community.

Whether you are a past, current, or potential future resident you will no doubt enjoy learning about this vibrant far northside Chicago Community bounded roughly by Ridge on the east, Peterson on the South, Kedzie to the West and North to Howard.

Though this video centers on the Jewish influence as the area is home to the Midwest’s largest Hasidic community, West Ridge is also represented by a significant number of individuals who celebrate the Indo/Pak, Bangladeshi cultural traditions of South Asia as well as longtime Irish American and German-American residents plus  Assyrian, Russian, and Korean immigrant communities.

Here is a video we produced of the India Independence Day Parade on Devon in 2017.
