Where is Bronzeville?

Bronzeville is a southside suburb distanced from Chicago’s marbled institutions by both miles and history, but situated immediately adjacent to the Obama’s family home.  I was invited there by a colleague who is renovating a place for his family.

A few important markers and some grand old houses tell you what Bronzeville once was, but there are still questions about what it is becoming.  I’m not sure I know, either.  I’m beginning to enjoy that feeling.
