West Rogers Park = West Ridge

City-sized media and trend-chasing real-estate representatives continue to try to convince that West Ridge is in fact, a section of Rogers Park.

The fact is, Rogers Park's South West borders are exactly Devon and Ridge.

To state it more clearly:

Any location South of Devon Avenue is not in Rogers Park.

Any location West of Ridge Avenue is not Rogers Park.



That being said, here is latest from the Chicago Tribune:

Chicago Tribune: Man dies after being found beaten in West Rogers Park alleyJuly 13, 2012|By Carlos Sadovi | Tribune reporter  

"A 62-year-old man who was found in an alley in the West Rogers Park neighborhood was beaten to death, officials said". 

While viewing the article I also noticed that the attached Google map even states the area as West Ridge.

I know some people feel strongly about this issue. I will reply to all comments.

Praise Tabernacle

Praise Tabernacle 1748 W. Devon Avenue

"Praise Tabernacle describe themselves as "a church made up of people from different backgrounds all gathering around a common cause - to see Jesus Christ glorified in and through our lives as we strive to know Him more and to make Him known".

Praise Tabernacle started during a September 1993 prayer meeting. Under the leadership of Pastor Daniel and Elisabet Iampaglia, they forged a new path for a group of people desiring to see God do great things in and through their lives. For the first three years, the church rented from various congregations and at times met in members homes. In February of 1996, the young congregation was able to purchase a building on Irving Park Road in the Lakeview neighborhood of Chicago, and stayed for the next nine years.

In Spring of 2005, they were able to sell the facility on Irving Park Road and purchase their current location at 1748 W. Devon Avenue. The current location provides the congregation with Sunday School rooms, a fellowship hall and comfortable setting for worship services."

Kaymak at Devon Market

Atour Foods is a small family-owned and operated business that makes traditional Middle Eastern food products. The company has been proudly serving the Chicagoland area since 1975.

Atour Foods’ mission is to provide top-quality food products and friendly service to their valued customers.

Not to be missed is their all-natural Kaymak also known as Clotted Cream or Devonshire cream, a versatile cream spread that can be eaten with nearly every meal. Sample Kaymak at select grocery stores and farmer’s markets, and see why it has been their best-selling product for more than 15 years!

Founded in 1975, Atour Foods began as an importer of ethnic foods to a concentrated community of Middle Easterners in Chicago. In the years that followed, this tight-knit community slowly began to disperse into different suburbs. Atour Foods was challenged to retain its original customer base. In 1989, Atour Foods was purchased by three Assyrian-Iraqi brothers, who brought with them the experience of running three successful businesses in Iraq. The family realized the opportunity to introduce new foods and high-quality products to an expanded, diverse customer base in the Chicago area. In 1994, Atour Foods started developing its own products, including the Kaymak that remains the store’s best-selling product today. As Atour Foods celebrates its 34th year in operation, they are planning new product additions to their line of high-quality Middle Eastern foods.

Atour Foods supplies their world class Kaymak to Devon Market in Rogers Park.
