"20 years going strong!!"
Tri-Taylor is a PERFECT neighborhood right off of Polk & Western. I've been living in the area for 20 years and I absolutely find it to be amazing. I live on Bowler, which is across the street from Chicago Hope Academy. I don't know much about the private high school, but I do know that the students come out at the end of the day with discipline. They don't hang around our neighborhood looking for trouble, they go about their business. A block away, there is also a level 1 CPS elementary school - Washington Irving Elementary. I have nothing but good things to say about that school, considering the fact that I did attend there. Their principal is phenomenal, she's doing such an amazing job with the kids. This is a great neighborhood for families with kids, since there is a grade school and high school in walking distance. There's also many little restaurants in Tri-Taylor that I know everyone will find to be incredible. This is a neighborhood that's meant to be calm and quiet, and if you're looking for a great night out, try walking over to the east side - even that's in walking distance from Tri-Taylor. 15 minutes in driving if you ask me. Altogether, this is a good quiet neighborhood to raise your kids in. Also, if you're single or a couple, this neighborhood would be the right fit for you. MOST IMPORTANTLY, almost all of us in the neighborhood are either Christians, Catholics, or Baptists, so religion does play a huge part here.

While there are strong Christian roots in this neighborhood, seeing as it was a part of Little Italy, I feel that saying "MOST IMPORTANTLY" that almost everyone here is a certain religion is misleading.
First off, the comment is incorrect. One of the aspects of this community that I love is its diversity, including its religious diversity. There are many different races and cultures in Tri-Taylor and I've never heard or seen anyone make a big deal about someone's religion.
Lastly, I feel that this comment could give people the impression that the neighborhood is close-minded and ignorant of other cultures. I find this contradictory to my experience living here and mildly offensive.
Tri-Taylor is a great neighborhood, and I'd hate to have a comment such as yours deter people from wanting to live here.
