Celebrating in Garfield Ridge
Garfield Ridge is a Southwest Side neighborhood of brick bungalows, Georgian homes and ranch houses on tidy lots, home to Midway International Airport. Polish, Mexican and other families live here side by side, and many households hold multiple generations under one roof, which makes family parties big and frequent. Multigenerational households mean gatherings tend to be large, and a family birthday can easily run past fifty guests.
Graduation parties, communions and birthdays are usually hosted at home.
