    New City is one of Chicago's 77 official community areas, located on the southwest side of the city in the South Side district. It contains the neighborhoods of Canaryville and Back of the Yards.

    The area was home to the famous Union Stock Yards that were on Chicago's south side until closed in 1971.

    Neighborhoods

    Back of the Yards

    Back of the Yards is an industrial and residential neighborhood so named because it was near the former Union Stock Yards, which employed thousands of European immigrants in the early 20th century. Life in this neighborhood was explored in Upton Sinclair's 1906 novel The Jungle. The area was formerly part of the town of Lake until it was annexed by Chicago in 1889. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the area was occupied largely by Eastern European immigrants and their descendants, who were predominantly ethnic Bohemian, Moravian, and Slovak (from Hungary).

    In the 1930s the activist Saul Alinsky did community organizing in this area, as its people suffered during the Great Depression. This work led to his founding the Industrial Areas Foundation in 1940, which trained community organizers.

    New City (album)

    New City is an album by the band Blood, Sweat & Tears, released in 1975. It peaked at Number 47 on the Billboard Pop Albums charts.

    New City marks the return to the line-up of lead vocalist David Clayton-Thomas.

    Reception

    Writing for Allmusic, critic Jason Elias wrote the album "It does sound promising, but, in all honesty, New City's fortunes seemed doomed from the start."

    New City

    by: The Fold

    I'm not listening I'm over it, sending it over and out
    It isn't alright to reside in this town anymore
    And what for?
    Call all my good friends, tell them it's come down to this
    I always said that they'd know where to find me
    When all else fails and I'm running on ocean time
    This city's colder than it used to be
    Sometimes I wonder can anyone else see
    My heart's not broken but it seems to be ignoring me
    I'm not listening I'm over it, sending it over and out
    It isn't alright to reside in this town anymore
    And what for?
    This city's colder than it used to be
    Sometimes I wonder can anyone else see
    My heart's not broken but it seems to be ignoring me
    Midnight is where the day begins, get up and get over it
    The darker the berry the sweeter is the wine
    This city's colder than it used to be
    Sometimes I wonder can anyone else see
    My heart's not broken this time but it seems
    I've just spent to long in this place I believe
    I'll start again today in a new city
