This study describes the collision of values and conflict of
purpose that arose when the mostly Protestant Anglo-Saxon
suburbanites of Rodgers Park came into contact with the German and
Luxembourger Catholics of rural West Ridge. A skilled urban
historian, Zaltman describes the ensuing conflict in terms of
battles over prohibiting taverns (wet vs. dry) -a key battle
between the tavern and alehouse centered rural world of the Germans
and the progressive, prohibitionist instincts of the middle class
Protestants. Other conflicts over real estate, taxes, zoning and
park creation are explicated with understanding (and some humor).
