South Chicago businesses
Four neighborhoods, one part of the city. The river, the lake, and the state line are how people already describe it.
Commercial Avenue
Commercial Avenue is the shopping street in South Chicago. Shops, restaurants, and neighborhood businesses line it.
The river and the lake
The Calumet River and Lake Michigan shape this side of the city. East Side sits east of the river. South Deering sits by Lake Calumet. The area grew up with the steel mills.
Hegewisch and the state line
Hegewisch is the neighborhood on the Indiana line, next to Hammond. A business here often serves both sides of that line.

South Chicago questions
Is this page only for the South Chicago neighborhood?
It covers four Southeast Side neighborhoods: South Chicago, East Side, Hegewisch, and South Deering. Tell us which one you are in.
Our customers also come from Hammond and Calumet City. Can we say that?
Yes. Hegewisch sits on the state line, and a lot of Southeast Side businesses serve the Indiana cities next door. Name the places you actually cover.
Should the site talk about the old mills?
Only if it helps someone place you. The Southeast Side has a steel-making past. We will not imply your shop is on mill property.
Do you work with businesses on the Southeast Side?
Yes. Wild Card works with businesses in these neighborhoods and the south suburbs around them. The quote form is the way to start.
Does a neighborhood in Chicago use a different price?
Starting prices match the pricing page. The neighborhood does not change them. You get a quote before any work starts.
