Our strongest assets are our people and their cultures.... the number of authentic ethnic establishments. We have bakeries and sausage shops and import shops and of course the famous West Side Market. We have strong first generation immigrant communities... About 7000 Albanians for example... Ukranians and Poles as well as many form other Baltic states. A strong Hispanic community, a Puerto Rican community, Guatemaleans, Hondurans. Our rich Arabic community has both Christian and Muslim form Egypt, Palestine, Jordan, Lebanon and the rest of the Arab world. We have Africans especially form West African countries, Asians form Cambodia, South Asia, Vietnam, Laos.The list goes on and on. (There are plenty of others, but these are among those that make up our rich cultural fabric). I love renting to first generation Americans because I'm 2 to 3 years, I will be selling them a house!
