Washington Park is on the South Side of Chicago. It includes the park named
Washington Park stretching east-west from Cottage Grove Avenue to the Dan Ryan Expressway,
and north-south from 63rd Street to 51st.  Half of the neighborhood's lots are vacant,
reflecting the fact that Washington Park is one of the poorest in Chicago,
with a median household income of only $15,000 a year, although there has
recently been a surge in gut rehab and new construction condominiums,
signaling the fact that the neighborhood is amidst change.
