If you want a feel for an authentic Chicago neighborhood experience, this is the place to be. There is on street parking (and in Chicago style it may or may not be available), kids selling lemonade, architecture and a vibe true to going on a walk in a big city neighborhood.
It was a great experience to have with my daughter who is 16+. We took walks around the neighborhood, there were convenience stores, people, dogs, sidewalks and a feeling of safety. It was a great experience for her coming of age.
