Lakeview vs Lincoln Park... Go. Still trying to decide which area to focus my apartment search infranklyscarlet wrote:Welcome to lakeview!

yep- it's all about the commute. If you live on an express bus line it's quicker to live further north where you can get the 146/7/8 rather than the 151 (the devil's bus, slow and full of children). Going west makes it harder to get to school generally, though not always. In my very limited experience (living in lakeview and having friends who live in lincoln park) and based on the parts of these neighborhoods I frequent:Mullens wrote:I realize this isn't very helpful, but I would look at both in between the red line and the lake. Generally, the farther north you go even in the two neighborhoods, the more square-footage you get per $ and the commute will only be different by a couple of minutes.
Lincoln Park- Pros: Slightly closer to downtown, more "bro" bars, more live music in said bars, super swanky "boutiques", couple of nice yoga studios. Cons: DePaul. All the DePaul bros. All the DePaul bros invading bars. All the DePaul bros puking on the sidewalk, All the DePaul bros sleeping on your front porch in a puddle of their own puke when you're leaving for class in the morning, less bang for your buck (apartments, bars, restaurants, etc.).herrowww wrote:Lakeview vs Lincoln Park...

TCR, but I'm also a Lakeview resident so my opinion is biased.mirroroferised7 wrote:Lincoln Park- Pros: Slightly closer to downtown, more "bro" bars, more live music in said bars, super swanky "boutiques", couple of nice yoga studios.

Lakeview- Pros: Much nicer access to lakefront parks, way more cool street festivals, much better bars/restaurants, cheap yoga studios, primary gayborhood in Chicago, world's most delicious (vegan) milkshake, amazing theater/comedy clubs Cons: Cubs games, Cubs fans stumbling into gayborhood and being jerks, Cubs fans punching each other out for the fuck of it, Cubs fans puking on the sidewalk, Cubs fans sleeping on your front porch in a puddle of their own puke when you're leaving for class in the morning, *just* far enough north that people with Streeterville attachment issues don't believe it actually exists.
Personally, I'm a Lakeview person. I lived three blocks from Wrigleyville, and I would do it all over again. I've gone to listen to friend's bands in Lincoln Park bars, and five minutes spent pushing through the uber-entitled crowd that seems to populate that area made me long for a nice, chill evening at Roscoe's or Sidetrack (Lakeview bars). Plus, you really can't beat Lakeview food. Arguably the one of the top three neighborhoods in the city for food. Lincoln Park has... nope... can't think of a single restaurant there that I love.

This is going to sound like an obnoxious comment, but in all seriousness, you just have to dress more warmly. Chicago winters seem to be about 15 degrees colder than NYC winters, but I don't think I am any colder than I was in NY, because I dress for colder weather. I'd guess that in the dead of winter, I dress for 10-30 degree weather. So when it's 10 I'm a little cold, and if it's 30 I'll overheat if I run to catch the bus or something. In NY, I would dress for 25-45 degree weather, and it would be the same deal.whereskyle wrote:Hey all! I've lived in Florida and California my entire life, and I know only a few people, who really know how to deal with cold. I'm wondering if you all, my cohort, may be willing to contribute to a list of essential gear and practices I'm compiling for surviving those -30 degree days with my health intact. What do I need to wear to protect myself on a frigid day? What are wise practices to follow if I have to be somewhere across town on a wintry day? I understand that this is amateurish, but I've spent about 12 days of my life in freezing temperatures, and I just wore two jackets and two pairs of jeans. I'd like to upgrade. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Now there's a charge.
