About (Chicago) West Lawn

West Lawn, community area 65 in the 77 official community areas, is located on the Southwest Side of Chicago. It is a quite friendly community, and is considered to be a "melting pot" of sorts, due to its constant change of races moving in and out of the area, as well as the diversity that exists there. It has a small town atmosphere in the big city. People are kind and are established as long-term residents. West Lawn is home to many Polish immigrants, Irish-Americans, Mexican-Americans, and other people of Latin American origin. One small business in the neighborhood, the Capitol Cigar Store at 63rd and Pulaski, features a tall Native American Statue as the landmark of West Lawn. The statue is most notable for being seen the movie, Wayne's World.
