In the intro to The City Terkel asks Dr. Philip Hauser, "is there a street in Chicago today where all manner of ethnic, racial, and income groups live?" and Dr. Philip replys, "... There is none..." (221) however, i believe he should have said there isn't one specific one. Anywhere you go especially in the city you will find people that are off all different races and income groups. You will find people with different opinions on everything and in each part of the city you go to you will find a difference in the attitude of each part of the city. Each area has there own problems and different types of groups. The place that Terkel is looking for all depends on what kinda of information, stories, and opinions he wants to get. If he wants a wide variety all he has to do is go to a few different suburbs or parts of the city and ask everyone the same questions and he will find a big difference in how everyone answers. Even though every town and part of the city has their own racial and income makeup there are parts of the city or different suburbs that have a wider variety than others and have more problems than others. Therefore, I don't agree with what Dr. Philip says to Terkel when he answers his question but I also don't think that Terkel asked the right question.
