Since when did 'The Patch' become associated with Grand Ave?
The Patch was Taylor St. Giancana would be very upset with you!LOL.
Sorry Chicago but that's flat-out wrong. Taylor Street was always known as Taylor Street...the Patch was Grand/Ogden and stretched from California to Orleans and Chicago Ave to Madison. At one point, the original row houses in the Cabrini Housing projects off Chicago/Orleans were home to Sicilians and was known as "Little Sicily." When those folks moved out of those projects (including my grandfather) most stayed in the general neighborhood aka "the Patch."
