Beverly Hills is the Official name

Why does it say that Beverly is occasionally called Beverly Hills. Actually it should be Beverly Hills is occasionally called Beverly. http://www.bapa.org/content.asp?contentid=26 The neighborhood association refers to it as Beverly Hills, —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.206.238.14 (talk) 16:19, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

I beg to differ. Though the official name is "Beverly Hills", many just say "Beverly". I mean I've had people from outside the area look at us weird when we say "Beverly Hills" as they think about the area in California. Kostantino888Z (talk) 06:28, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

Can someone explain what the origins of the community name is, whether Beverly Hills or Berverly? Did 90261 Berverly Hills have anything to do with Chicago? Pm9531 (talk) 01:22, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

South Side

I kind of like the Far South description. Beverly is clearly not in the western side of Chicago, and the South side usually refers to areas much closer to downtown.

Can you any references to show that Southwest is more appropriate than Raf South? ADH 02:59, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

• Look at the map in the article. It would seem to me that Community Areas 54 and 55 would fit the definition of "far south". And as for references, yes, I got the word southwest right out of an article in the Chicago Tribune about Beverly native Lance Ten Broeck. And, lastly, where did you learn to spell usually > ususlaly and far >raf.--Hokeman 15:29, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

By the same token 56 and 64 might qualify as southwest, but not Beverly.

I did a quick Google search test and many more articles refer to Beverly as South then Southwest. I'll consider changing it to south if you don't think that will confuse too many people who think of the 'south side as being more like 3000 to 6300 south. ADH 03:45, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

I see your point. I am in agreement that South side is better than Southwest; and I think your choice of South side is more accurate than Far South. --Hokeman 15:58, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
