Cicero is downright civilized and corruption-free compared to either of those towns. Betty Lauren-Maltese would be considered a clean government reformer down there.

Yeah, I get it. There are a lot of Mexicans in Cicero. But who can't laugh at a Betty Lauren-Maltise joke? That woman is hysterically funny.

Well demograpically and density wise, Cicero is like an extension to Little Village. If Chicago ever decide to annex a suburb, Cicero will be one of the first. And besides, it have the right density for Chicago.

The best border town is Evergreen Park. It has decent schools and a really good library.
