Don Wycliff hit a point that has annoyed me for years in his May 9 column, “It’s all in the eye of the beholder; Exactly when does a neighborhood deserve the label `gritty’?”

It is the idea that if you are from the South Side, you are from a dangerous slum.

This is the media’s dirty little secret.

Too often the assumption is a given in any news story.

Actually the South Side has always been a hidden treasure where a great lifestyle is possible.

Thanks for noticing.
