This is a group for those of us who grew up in Garfield Ridge---people who walked to Wentworth Park, stopped their conversation to let an airplane fly by, had a Big Baby from Nicky's, got stuck by the same train twice in five minutes, and so much more.
This is a forum primarily for men and women of good will, good taste and good cheer to share fun memories of Garfield Ridge, one of the best neighborhoods in the history of Chicago. Please keep posts focused on Garfield Ridge. If you want to share more general memories about the world of your youth (anything from Bozo to the Flintstones, etc.), there are many good "I Grew Up in the '50s" (or '60s, 70s, 80s) Facebook groups that are just a click away for you to join and enjoy.
This Facebook group is:
** not a forum for bigotry of any kind.
** not a place for personal attacks against anyone in Garfield Ridge, past or present. This includes neighbors, clergy, teachers, librarians, police officers, firefighters, public officials, business owners and their businesses, etc.
** not a place for former residents to trash the Garfield Ridge of the present day.
** not a sounding board for anyone’s political agenda or to debate news events.
** not a place to promote worthy causes (no matter how wonderful), if they are not specific to Garfield Ridge.
** not a stage to revisit the grisly details of plane crashes and other tragic events from our neighborhood’s past.
** not a place for members to carry on personal conversations that are better suited for FB messages.
** not a place for members to sell merchandise or directly advertise their business. There are many other "buy/sell" groups on FB that any of us may join. Plus, FB does sell paid ads.
Finally, any group member who blocks an admin will be removed from the group, immediately and without comment. If you have any questions about the group's guidelines, please contact an admin directly via personal message.
So let’s all abide by these simple and clear guidelines---may all of us treat each other with dignity and respect and share a few smiles and laughs as we gently jog each other’s memories.
