<p>Interesting take; you may be right. When I was considering the U of C, my mother (who grew up at 56th and Hyde Park Boulevard and went to Bret Harte) was very skeptical about BJ or anything south of the midway. Now that I think about it, we never even went to see movies at the law school; we always went to Doc. I grew up with absolute boundaries – 59th, Cottage, and 47th – and there might as well have been barbed wire down the middle of those streets. I can see how much it’s changed north of 47th, but it’s going to take a lot to change an understanding we’ve had for 65 years.</p>
