Look at the street signs. Everything EAST of state should be the East side..
800 E 79th St. Is cottage grove but 800 W 79th St. Is Halsted. But really people consider all that just southside cuz there ain't enough Chicago going east cuz of the lake to even constitute it's own "side". So then you make it even smaller by starting at stony and it's just

I just be like "I'm over east"
