[edit]  ?

It's hard to overstate the enormous contributions Lithuanians have made to Chicago, but this article is a bit muddled in its current (unsourced) incarnation. There's no Lith. equivalent to Chgo's Ukrainian Village or Little Italy, so the category "Chicago neighborhoods" is inappropriate. The very title is confusing: Little Lithuania already has a received meaning, and the Encylopedia of Chicago, in its page-long history of Lithuanians in Chicago, makes no mention of the term.

BTW, the E of C sez that "Lithuanians usually claim that Chicago had about 50,000 of their conationals by 1914" (page 489). Billbrock 07:42, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lithuanians in Chicago

Redirects here, but isn't that a more appropriate title? Again, see the Encylopedia of Chicago. Billbrock 09:01, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Yes, it is. Moved. Renata 10:34, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
