Thomas Thank you for your response. I guess we were pretty much isolated in our little gettos at that time. I remember Milwaukee Ave. but not LeClaire. I just can't imagine very much west of Wells Public School, that I attended between 1930 and 1934, It was located, on Wilson Ave, about half a mile west of Western Across the street was a Luthern Church. A little further down Wilson a Greek Church. At that time Wilson Ave. must have extended much further west than I was aware of. We traveled mostly by streetcar. The Wilson Ave. bus was at least a mile east of us. I still remember the milk truck and the ice truck and the horse's hoofs on the bricks of Wilson and Oakley Aves. We lived on the corner. Thanks again. Any information about that area brings back loving memories. If there is anything that I can share with listers - I would be happy to do so. dorothy .

Dorothy Are you not referring to Waters School across from Luther Memorial Church? Welles was the name of the park at Sunnyside and Western. I grew up in this neighborhood and went to Queen of Angels School at Sunnyside & Western, across from the park. Wilson goes all the way west, but in the west end of the Albany Park neighborhood it stops and starts and curves for awhile. You have to know the neighborhood to follow it, or you will get lost.
