Everybody knows Hyde Parkers love to talk.
They’ll communicate in every way possible: letters to the editor, community meetings, lunch conversations at Valois, chance meetings on the street, and, most recently, blogging.
Hyde Parkers care deeply about their neighborhood and the world beyond it. Many of them are true activists, and you can almost always bet on a hot debate. According to the neighborhood’s most loving critics, they’re “cacophony people,” who engage in “critical thinking out loud” and “feel-good yelling.” After all, Hyde Park is a place where people get passionate about grocery stores.
