23rd & Sawyer
Here's a letter I posted a year or two ago over at Swapatorium but I thought I'd post it over here as I'm going be posting an occassional letter now and then to give the site a break from snapshots. I'm guessing the letter dates from around 1920 and is from here in Chicago. The corner of 23rd and Sawyer that the writer refers to is in the Little Village neighborhood. I think at the time the area was populated mostly by Czechs and Poles but now the area is almost completely Mexican. Of course, I'm sure there's still a nosy neighbor or two to found.

Oh, this is priceless! I love, "It does not concern me any but. . . ." I'm going to go through the day humming "Harper Valley PTA."

Interesting how the definition of what a disgrace is has changed over the years.
