Oh sure, I was referring to the sketchy non-contiguous parts of MS territory in Oriole Park/Norridge/Hardwood Heights that were NOT part of District 207 when I went to Maine East from 1977-1981.
The little yellow schoolhouse in the upper left of the picture is Maine South at Dee & Talcott in Park Ridge. The white square(with the football field just to the north of it) in the lower right corner just over the "W" in "W. Montrose" is Ridgewood High School at Montrose & Oketo in Norridge. That southernmost red block of Maine South territory is literally 1 block north of Ridgewood's football field.
Per Zillow, the median home price in Park Ridge is $420,000; in Norridge it's $268,000 and in Hardwood Heights it's $251,000; but that's superfluous. More so, those areas down there contain things like the Cascades condos, Clock Tower Pointe condos, and a ridiculous numbers of three flats, twelve flats, etc. Incredibly inexpensive "in" to Maine South territory without owning a McMansion in Park Ridge. I have three friends who graduated from Maine East with me in 1981 who had kids on the year's Maine South football team. I've discussed this with them many times and they just kinda smirk and say "well, that's Maine South..".
We have some less expensive apartments in the NE part of Palatine. I was simply suggesting(sarcastically of course..) that we could do a similar type thing here so we could hold onto a very good coach.
