Wicker Park: once home to the "Polish Gold Coast" in Chicago. Today, it's a cross between Little Mexico, Little Williamsburg (hipster-town, NYC), and Little Yuppie-Land (Lincoln Park being 'big' Yuppie-Land). The intersection of North Ave., Damen, and Milwaukee is like another, separate downtown within the city.
First off, a view of the infamous intersection, and the Coyote Building. The Coyote (AKA Northwest Tower) is like Chicago's version of NYC's Flatiron Building. Not quite as ornate, but easily just as classic.
Enjoy:
The Flat Iron Arts Building. Home of an artist community and one of my favorite bars in the city (also called the Flat Iron):
The Coyote, site of the annual Around the Coyote arts fest:
Around the Coyote, North and Milwaukee:
There will be more to come, I promise. Pictures that you can't even imagine. I would post them now, however the Bulls are playing. You know the drill.
