"Chicagoans referred to the Beverly/Morgan Park area as North Blue Island, Upwood (the name of Morgan`s estate) or the less-complimentary nickname of Horse Thief Hollow. The plunging ravines and dense forests of the ridge provided a perfect hideout for a gang of horse thieves until the state militia rooted them out in the 1850s."
Perhaps where the phrase the
"Mighty Mighty Mustangs"
originated
As a Mt Greenwood guy, I wonder how many of our Beverly Morgan Park alumni are descended from the gang of horse thieves?
And now we have a Restaurant / Brew Pub
in Beverly named
Horse Thief Hollow
New Brew Pub Restaurant in Beverly at 104th and Western Avenue. Uses a name famous in Beverly Morgan Park history back in the good old days.
