Chicago Walking Tour - Wicker Park Neighborhood

[@npd6225]

My sister lives down Wicker Park Ave. Such a beautiful neighbourhood... videos don’t do the vibe justice but still so cool to pretend I’m back there. Love from Sydney, Australia.

@npd6225 Wicker Park is beautiful! It’s nice to hear you’re connected to it from afar.

I liked Wicker Park when I went there a few years ago.

[@WalkingSerenity]

@admidwest Wicker Park has such a unique vibe, doesn’t it? What did you enjoy most about your visit?

[@gRosh08]

Cool!

[@WalkingSerenity]

Thanks a lot!

[@cxr111]

Can you do Oak Park? Great videos!

[@WalkingSerenity]

@cxr111 Thanks for the suggestion! Oak Park is a great idea. I'll look into it!

Being from l.a. and working in wicker park i thought the area was a dope place in chicago with melrose vibes

[@WalkingSerenity]

@larrylo2985: It really does have that vibe! What’s your favorite part about Wicker Park?

I miss living in wicker park--I hate that I moved to Old town where people don't have a personality.

[@WalkingSerenity]

You could always move back

[@eusebiocalderon4261]

You should stop and read the street corners. About 3 seconds.

[@WalkingSerenity]

@eusebiocalderon4261 Good advice! There are so many hidden gems if you take the time to look around!

I hope they clean up all that evil grafitti that has messed up this once great neighborhood

[@internetfreinds291]

Plenty of sterile generic American suburbs with "town centres" you can go to if you want an absence of grafitti. Its also on plywood so who cares

[@WalkingSerenity]

@PRHILL9696 Cleaning up the graffiti could really help restore the neighborhood's charm. What changes would you like to see?

[@WalkingSerenity]

@internetfreinds291 That's a good point! It does give a certain character to the area, but I can see both sides of the argument.

My son lives off of Division near Damen. Love this area. But really not happy to see all the arrogant, young idiots walking and riding thru the neighborhood without masks -- in those pre-vaccine days, during a complete lockdown in Chicago, complete with mask mandates! Our son told us about that lunacy...

[@WalkingSerenity]

@neresq: It’s definitely concerning to see that behavior, especially during such a critical time. How do you feel the community can address these issues going forward?
