Wicker Park, Noble Square and Bucktown neighborhood scenes and cruise from 1993.

Early 1990’s street footage and cruising sequence on Division Street within the Noble Square, Wicker Park, and Bucktown neighborhoods. At the 7:00 minute mark the camera passed by Division & Wolcott LK’s.

The good o days 😌, rent was cheap average 2 bedroom apt 400 dollors a month , food was also cheap , clothing line was a bit expensive but we managed, you worked every fortnight and got Paid minimum wage and still were able to save a few bucks . Today is a joke 2023

[@frankiefrankie3127]

Yea man.. When Chicago was fun.. The city had a feel to it. You could walk outside n it was an adventure.. Now it's dull..

[@ScottTeresi]

You're REALLY out of touch. What's depicted in the video here is *depressing* compared to the lively and growing neighborhood that exists now. WP was a HOLE. Interesting, sure... as a curiosity but who wants to live in a curiosity?

[@peterroslaniec6527]

You had to live in these areas during the mid-80s and early 90s to understand the people had hearts of pure gold ✨️ it was always a bigger picture .

[@peterroslaniec6527]

That's something that no longer exists ever .....

[@davidfreesefan23]

I love these videos - just the sounds of the city, as if I were there myself. I was born in 1993, by the way. I visited Chicago in 2002, 2011, and most recently 2019 - loved it! Looking forward to my next visit, whenever that is…
