Pocket Town Kids: Passion, Hope and Connection on Chicago's S. Side - Paul Revere Security. Paul Revere Elementary School Security Guard Johnny Towns raises his fist in front of the school. Three security guards help maintain a secure campus. The school is located at 72nd and Ellis on Chicago's S. Side in the Greater Grand Crossing neighborhood or the Pocket as it's known to most children and residents in the neighborhood.
