| • | Chicago neighborhoodsAlbany Park is a residential and commercial neighborhood on the Northwest Side of Chicago, and one of the most diverse in the United States. It has the highest percentage of foreign-born residents of any neighborhood in Chicago. Although the majority of those foreign-born residents are from South America, substantial numbers are from the Philippines, India, Korea, Vietnam, the Former Yugoslavia (Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia), Romania, Pakistan and the Middle East. Over 40 different languages are spoken in its public schools. The neighborhood has been the "Koreantown" of Chicago for some time. Although many of the Asians in the neighborhood have been moving to the north suburbs in recent years, it still retains its Korean flavor. Every year there is a Korean festival and the neighborhood is home to a Korean television station (WOCH-LP Ch. 28) and radio station (1330 AM) as well as two Korean-language newspapers. There are still many Korean businesses interspersed among the newer Mexican bakeries and Middle Eastern grocery stores. Albany Park is also notable for being the home of the current governor of Illinois, Rod Blagojevich.
The area is one of the most democratic of the country : In 2004, John Kerry won 22,800 votes (97.47%) to only 529 (2.26%) for George W. Bush.
