Southside Hall of Fame
In a fit of bordem, I tried to come up with a list of famous southsiders. And while just about all 78 Nobel laurates from U of C probably should be included, I've only chosen the sexy, heavy-hitter household names. The list is heavy on the Sox, for obvious reasons.

Not that I've achieved much in life, unlike those listed above, but I did get laid last night! Enrico Fermi would be proud of the dynamic physics performed! I've spiced up the bedroom a bit by adding a red light and silk sheets. Kinda trashy, but kinda sexy as well. Last night began like the last few - a long massage, this time with the added lubricant of warming massage oil on a chill night. I advertised it to my MILF as a "no strings attached" session, but after 20 minutes, I slowly peeled away her panites, flipped her over and said, "That part about 'no-string attached'? That was a lie". She figured as much and welcomed my advances with open legs...

More U of C-ish suggestions:
For economics:
Arrow, Becker, Hayek, Samuelson, Schultz, Stigler
For science:
Cronin, Michelson
Away from the U, for politics:
Metcalfe (also qualifies for general athletics)
Ed Kelly (the mayor, not the park super)
You've some typos here, but it would be churlish of me to mention them specifically given otherwise impressive work . . .
Thanks - I'll add the names you suggest.
Yes- I've got typos. That is one of my bad habits - I think faster than I type and I'm too impatient to go back and correct mistakes.
I'm much better than I used to be... I took a business wrtitng class and proofreading class at U of C (Graham School) and those were very helpful...
At work, I have professional proofreaders that check my work. That helps, but mistakes still occassionally get through.
Thanks for reading. I hope you'll come back often - especially when the baseball season begins!
As long as you're going to add, I'll suggest one more name for politics: Madigan.
And is Steve Allen a South Sider or from 'da region'? Or do you consider them the same? Regardless, if you add him, does Jean Shepard qualify? And, away from entertainment, what about Frank Borman?
Another possibility for literature: Finely Peter Dunne?
