WRIGLEYVILLE, CHICAGO // Neighborhood Travel Guide & Tour (Things to Do in Chicago Vlog)

In this video we pay a visit to a major league neighborhood, known for a stadium that is a throwback to the olden days of professional baseball -- Wrigleyville, Chicago. Our Wrigleyville Chicago Neighborhood Guide & Tour will take us through the area bounded by Irving Park Road, Southport Ave, Addison Street, and Sheffield Avenue.
Thanks for watching this Travel Guide from a Local Living in Chicago about Wrigleyville Chicago neighborhood.
Before Europeans touched foot in Chicago, the area around Wrigley Field was inhabited by tribes like the Miami & Winnebago. Clark street began as a Native American trail and the surrounding land was an Indian village.
This was only 350 years ago.
Joseph Sheffield (namesake of Sheffield Avenue) "purchased" the land in 1851 and several years later a Lutheran minister acquired it.
A church and a seminary were later built on the land bounded by Waveland, Sheffield, Addison, and Clark.
As the surrounding neighborhood expanded rapidly (due to the construction of the Addison "L" station in 1900, the seminary rethought their location and ended up moving out in 1910.
Flash forward to 1914 and Charles Weeghman, a restauranteur, built a baseaball park on this site to be the home of his Chicago Whales baseball team.... how did the Cubs end up here? We talk about it in the video!
Wrigleyville is also home to several other landmarks including Metro, a music venue in a building that once was a Swedish community center, constructed in 1927 in the Spanish Baroque Revival architectural style.
Wrigley Field is a rare surviving Jewel Box baseball park, one of several built across the country, including one that predated Wrigley, Old Comiskey Park.
Wrigleyville is also full of traditional Chicago style homes like bungalows, worker cottages, and greystones.
Of the things to do in Wrigleyville, nothing tops attending a Chicago Cubs game, it's something everyone should do at least once in their life.
There are also lots of sports bars and great dining options like - Murphy's Bleachers, Slugger's, The Cubby Bear, Big Star, Smoke Daddy, West Town Bakery & Tap, Wrigleyville Dogs, Do Rite Donuts, and more!
I hope you enjoyed this Chicago Vlog / Wrigleyville Chicago Travel Guide!

What's good? Thanks so much for watching the best Wrigleyville Chicago guide! Put your answers to the trivia question below!! Appreciate the likes & shares!

[@MsHamza360]

Hey man your content is awesome i am considering in studying in Chicago could you please make a series on affordable or cheap housing,food,tips and tricks for college students keep on killing it!.

[@bananamilk1974]

Ummm Chi town need to hire this guy as their mascot. Dude speaks from his heart 👍Give it up!! 🙌👏

[@LuisGustoComedy]

Thank you, much appreciated! 🙌

[@TickleMeElmo55]

Love it. When the Cubs won the WS, many traveled to the stadium to mark their names, write messages, and express their joy in chalk on the streets and walls of the complex. I wrote my grandfather's name who passed away when I was in grade school on Addison St. I remember him watching the Cubs on WGN on an old pushbutton tv on the South Side, so that is whom I inherited my fandom (parents were immigrants so we weren't fully aware that there was a North vs South Side rivalry where we were suppose to cheer on the White Sox). Let's Go Cubs!

[@MeTubeERG]

THANK YOU for acknowledging the poor taste in which the new suburban-style buildings were added to Wrigleyville! We live in Uptown and hate to see what they've done there whenever we pass through.

[@LuisGustoComedy]

Wish they would've incorporated the architectural motifs from Wrigley and the existing surrounding buildings

[@MeTubeERG]

@@LuisGustoComedy Yep!

[@Tracyj314]

I love your channel and the way you bring attention to all the great things our city has to offer! I've lived in Wrigleyville for years but never knew about the Alta Vista Historical District. I also love the acknowledgement of Native American contributions to the area and city.

[@LuisGustoComedy]

Thank you so much! The Alta Vista district is so quaint, I highly recommend taking a stroll there! I try my best to include the Native American contributions, hoping to learn a lot more in the coming months!

[@johndavidsuayan9239]

I always visit Wrigleyville when I go see my family in Chicago. You don't have to be a Cubs fan to appreciate the area.

[@pattallant2398]

Man am I enjoying your tours of my hometown! 🤗 I love and miss the neighborhood streets, please show more of them. 👍

[@LuisGustoComedy]

Thanks Pat! I have a couple of live walking tours through Wrigleyville & Lakeview

[@genemcgarry457]

I lived in Chicago for 35 years. A great place to be from. I moved to Minnesota. Much has changed since I left. You two make me wish I was back. You have captured the essence of what makes Chicago a great place to eat ,drink ,and live. Keep up the wonderful work you're doing. You make it proud to be Chicagoan!!!

Thanks so much bro, really appreciate it. I still haven't taken the tour but I've been to about 50-100 games in my life. Hopefully next spring I can do the full tour

Love your work, after a year exactly this week of NOT travelling & 2 trips cancelled due to the pandemic, I’m missing my favourite city. My team the Cubs and also the Bears 🐻 in NFL are a must visit, you’ve sold it. I have niece in Chicago, so 2021 looks a great time to visit once we can safely, see you next year & thanks for the fantastic guides, love it.

Love your videos is there a chance you can do neighborhood food tours. It would show restaurants that’s still here since the pandemic started

[@tigrisayinee881]

Hey Luis I love your videos I’m moving back home next year. Is there a chance you can do neighborhood food tours to show what’s out there now since we lost so much during the pandemic

[@BurnedJello]

Right before you asked, was just thinking I wished you did more food videos haha. Grab a PB&J smoothie for me at Kanela's in Wicker Park 😉

[@LuisGustoComedy]

Cool cool 😅

[@Jacko9TV]

Petco Park you can watch from the legend condos in center field! I have before!

[@coldkittn]

I'm going to visit Chicago next week. I can't wait to check out Alta Vista. I'm eyeing an apt in Uptown can't wait to check out all the different neighborhoods!

[@LuisGustoComedy]

It’s truly a hidden gem, and so close to Wrigley!!

[@threeg6966]

Uptown is nice. My daughter lived there for awhile. Remember though,....you ARE in a BIG city.

[@MeTubeERG]

I'd be very interested to see your take on Ravenswood on the North side

[@threeg6966]

Byron's Hot Dogs on Irving Park have the best Hot Dogs in the world. It is a must stop before going toa Cubs game at Wrigley Field. I love Wrigleyville. Easy to get around on foot, plenty to do.

[@Stuff-qo2km]

Wrigleyville is a really cool area to be honest with you I might visit there next week. Also can you tour Streeterville next? :D

[@LuisGustoComedy]

Nice! Yes, definitely gonna visit Streeterville soon!!

[@mc76]

I lived in Wrigleyville from 2005-19 and watched it slowly morph into Rickettsville. The neighborhood is virtually unrecognizable from when I first moved there.

[@larrysproul9424]

So much has changed since the Rickets family took over as owners . So many of the mom and pop business places are gone . Plus a hotel that not many fans could ever afford to stay at .

[@Rosafit620]

I can’t wait to see a Cubs game. Go CUBS!!

[@LuisGustoComedy]

Hey hey! Holy cow!

[@thenobleone-3384]

I paid close attention a lot of the houses I delivered to were designed like the houses in N.Y. which is different from where I grew up in Texas.

[@dominicankid809]

those tacos looked lovely...what is your go to spot for tacos if staying in the downtown area ?

[@Premchik]

Which of the neighborhoods? All of them except for the dangerous ones. I love your videos about the architecture of the city, but also places and vibe - exactly what you have done in this video))

[@LuisGustoComedy]

Thank you!

[@roddywhite4161]

Can you give us a tour of Englewood next? Best places to eat and what to do

[@LuisGustoComedy]

Working on it!

[@BBDulcet-if1si]

The idea of city officials looking at the neighborhood around Wrigley and saying 'yeah, Addison. That's fer sure where the wrigleyville neighborhood ends' is insane to me! Jaja like, until you reach Newport or Roscoe all that is dependant on Wrigley.

[@brunobarroso9614]

Irving park and Ashland ❤️

Do Little Village!!!

[@LuisGustoComedy]
