South Shore is a south side community located with Marquette to the north, 79^th to the south, Lake Michigan east, and Stoney Island west.

Although Swedish and Irish traders first settled South Shore, the community now boasts one of the largest Hispanic and Afro-American populations in Chicago, who have restored some of the city’s most beautiful homes. The neighborhood is home to the South Shore Cultural Center, which was formerly a renowned country club and lakeshore retreat house frequented by famous movers and shakers like Amelia Earhardt and Jean Harlow. Today the park has been restored and is open to the public.
