===Harlem Avenue===
Numerous self-owned businesses create an atmosphere similar to that of some [[Arab diaspora]] communities across the world. Businesses include ethnic grocery stores (containing imported groceries and appliances used to cook regional dishes, cultural souvenirs, and calling cards used specifically for customers to use when speaking to relatives overseas), [[hookah]] lounges, and Middle Eastern sweet shops. The majority of Arab business owners on Harlem Avenue are from Palestine and Jordan.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.themediaoasis.com/profiles/ArabOverview3-9-05.htm |title=Overview of CHicago's and the nation's Arab and Muslim community: A roadmap to help the media better cover the two distinct communities |access-date=August 27, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110917020817/http://www.themediaoasis.com/profiles/ArabOverview3-9-05.htm |archive-date=September 17, 2011 |url-status=dead }}</ref> The area is known as "[[wiktionary:Little_Palestine|Little Palestine]]."<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |last=Wade |first=Stephanie |date=2023-12-11 |title=Why so many Palestinians call the Chicago area home; Cook County has largest population in US |url=https://abc7chicago.com/palestinians-little-palestine-chicago-bridgeview/14168398/ |access-date=2024-08-20 |website=[[ABC7 Chicago]] |language=en}}</ref><ref name=":1">{{Cite web |last=Loria |first=Michael |title=DNC comes to 'Little Palestine' as Gaza deaths top 40,000 |url=https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2024/08/18/dnc-little-palestine-chicago-protest/74805536007/ |access-date=2024-08-20 |website=USA TODAY |language=en-US}}</ref>
