Evidence note (master store)
Enlace Chicago (the neighborhood's community organization) states Little Village is commonly known as La Villita and is the principal port-of-entry for Mexican immigrants to the Midwest; it 'roughly shares the boundaries of the Chicago Community Area of South Lawndale, located west of Western Avenue, east of Cicero Avenue, north of I55 and south of the BNSF train line,' with a population of over 71,000, and 26th Street is the second-highest tax-generating district in the city after the Magnificent Mile. Establishes existence, neighborhood (not community area) status, Chicago location, the La Villita alias, and the 26th St commercial corridor. Does NOT cover: name origin. (fetched in full 2026-10-17)
