Brookside, planned and built in 1920, was the city's first
suburban shopping area. Designed to serve the automobile
set, it boasted specialty, grocery and drug stores, medical
offices, even a special community center, as well as the first south
side police and fire stations.
Brookside is home to more than 70 shops, restaurants, and offices,
all unique and in keeping with the original neighborhood charm and
architecture. Once you have visited, you are sure to become an
"Honorary Neighbor."

The Brookside Business Association, originating in 1939 as the 63rd
& Brookside Business Association, was formed "for the purpose of
promoting and furthering the interests of persons and firms in
business or professions, as well as property owners and to improve
the district in every possible way so as to make it a better
district in which to live and work."
Today, the Brookside Business Association is a voluntary
organization whose purpose is to create and preserve a pleasant
surrounding for conducting business in the Brookside. This is
accomplished by, among other things, maintaining common parking
areas, providing for landscaping and trash removal, promoting
special activities and events, and working with the City, Park
Department, Area Transportation Authority, tenants, property owners
and neighborhood stakeholders.
