Chicago/Wicker Park

IL · 41.9046, -87.6711

From Chicago/Wicker Park, Illinois, Byway's registries place 2 scenic byways and 1 national park within 30 miles.

Among the most pointless topics of debate in Chicago life is whether Wicker Park has changed, is full of yuppies now, isn't what it used to be, etc. The answers are simple: yes, maybe, and who cares? Just like the Velvet Underground would have been playing stadiums if everybody who claimed to have seen them in 1967 actually did, if everybody who claims to have been there when Wicker Park was cool actually was there, it would be a city roughly the size of Cleveland.
