    CHICAGO — When Nedra Sims Fears was growing up in Chicago’s Chatham neighborhood in the 1960s and ’70s, the basement of her family home flooded at least six times. Twice, the water rose so high that it triggered an electrical fire and her family had to move out during extensive renovations. Mementos from Fears’ early years — in a close-knit neighborhood that embraced hard work, education and block parties — were lost forever.
