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. Lands' End Founder Gary Comer, who attended the school more than fifty years ago, has pumped several million dollars into the school in an effort to revitalize an ailing school that has underserved the neighborhood's population for several generations.
