Wicker Park |
The boundaries of Wicker Park are North Ave. on the North, Division St. on the South, Western Ave on the West, and Ashland on the East. The center of all the action is at the intersection of Damen, Milwaukee and North Avenues. Wandering the streets from this location, you’ll run across some appealing shops that add to the unique flavor of the neighborhood. It is one of the most eclectic, artsy areas of Chicago. Wicker Park is a fun, attractive area considered by some to be the hippest place to live in the city.
The historic area of Wicker Park is noticeable by the attractive three-flats and old 1800 mansions, of note - Beer Baron Row (Hoyne Street between Pierce and Schiller). It is an architecturally diverse variety of Victorian homes and modern low-rise buildings. Cheap buildings, low rents and a convenient El stop brought bohemian chic to Wicker Park.
This area is now called home by a large group of working artists and musicians. The annual Around the Coyote Art Show occurs in September when more than 300 local artists open their studios to the public. It is a huge event that brings thousands of art-lovers and collectors from all over the city.
There is the newly renovated fountain in Wicker Park at 1425 N. Damen. The Victorian fountain was rebuilt after some of the original molds used in its casting were found at an ironworks company in Alabama.
In the offbeat quality of this remarkable neighborhood, you will find a new upscale restaurant next to a little boutique selling all kinds of vintage and kitschy items. Its restaurants, bars, galleries, street musicians, and boutiques contribute to the amiability and charm of this considerably real neighborhood.
