| Armour Square,
located on the southwest side of Chicago, is one of
the 77 officially defined Chicago community areas. Armour
Square is also the name of one of three neighborhoods
within the community area. The Armour Square neighborhood,
located at the south end of the community area includes
U.S. Cellular Field and was the site of Comiskey Park,
is anchored by Armour Square Park.
U.S. Cellular Field is the home
of the Chicago White Sox baseball team. Next to it is
the former location of the Sox old park Comiskey Park,
which stood from 1910-1990.
Chinatown is in the near South
Side (located in the Armour Square community area),
centered on and around Cermak and Wentworth Avenues,
and is an example of an American Chinatown, or ethnic-Chinese
neighborhood. It is not to be confused with an area
sometimes called "New Chinatown", which is
on the North Side around Argyle Street, and which has
a larger number of Southeast Asians. |
