Hello All: Idon't want to answer for others, I'll let them do that. ButI do know that there are at least two of our current site writers who have parents still living in the neighborhood. Somebody must hold down the old fort. So, I'd imagine they have been in the neighborhood since the 40's. My Mom and Dad lived in the neighborhood from 1941 to 1986. Great question Marion. Looking forward to the identity of the two and maybe more who are still in the neighborhood. Love, Peace and Happiness. Matt Keenan

I have an old friend who still lives at 1575 Theriot Ave, in the same apartment she grew up in. Her mother also lived there as a baby. Supposedly, her mother's family was the very first family to live in that apartment. I won't name names because I don't know if she'd appreciate me giving out her whereabouts.

Based on preliminary results, we may have a winner! That is awesome. I doubt anyone can top that, Bugsy, but we shall see!

Hi all, I lived on Taylor Avenue from 1948 until 1988. I stayed in the same apt. my family lived in even after I was married. So I was a long time resident.
