Beverly Hills /BEV ur LEE hillz / n. Not the 90210-California version but the 60643-Chicago model. Instead of movie stars, the South Side neighborhood of Beverly Hills -- commonly called Beverly -- is home to judges, cops, firefighters, traders and lots of Irish pubs. Said to be named for Beverly, Mass., the home of an early settler, it also boasts some rare Chicago hills, including the highest spot in town -- 93.5 feet above Lake Michigan, in the 9400 block of South Claremont.
