Born & grew up in Claremont Co. until we moved to Hyde Park. I have wonderful memories. It was like being in the country, but w/ neighbors.
Claremont Co.to Hyde Park (Chicago)!
I know the urban sprawl was pushing east... I’m thinking culture shock!
A cousin still lives on the old family farm!
Many of my kin are still there, some have farms in Claremont and brown Counties.
I once worked at the University of Chicago, going North on Cottage Grove is a different world.
