There strangely does seem to be a small Balkan community in Hyde Park as well (you can find Serbian and Croatian stuff in stores).
There are a ton of Romanians in Chicago, but I don't know too much about the community, other than that I hear Romanian on the street fairly regularly and there are multiple Romanian Orthodox churches (but I'm a heathen...). Based on where stores/restaurants/churches are located, I'd guess there's some nexus in Portage Park or thereabouts. Long long ago there used to be direct TAROM flights from Bucureşti to Chicago, although I think that stopped when TAROM joined SkyTeam. It looks like there was some discussion of reinstating flights?
