We went to Chicago for the Bisa Butler exhibit, but didn’t want to stay downtown. We wanted to be in a neighborhood. We’d been to Ravenswood before and loved the area. Lots of shady residential streets with interesting architecture and so many restaurants you’ll have trouble deciding which one to try first. One of a kind shops, too. Also very close to the Chicago School of Shoemaking! We spent 3 nights at Jason’s place. It’s a 6 or 7 minute walk from the Irving Park Station (Brown Line) and the Ashland bus is right at the corner. Paid $20 for a 7 day unlimited pass that you can load on your phone, Apple Watch or you can use their card. We used the public transportation to go all over Chicago. Had a blast. Jason’s place was very clean and spacious. Also inviting and comfortable. If we hadn’t been on the go every day, I might have hung out and listened to some of the LP’s next to the turntable. Maybe next time. Would definitely stay at Jason’s place again!
