Wicker Park is a shopping and dining destination on the North Side
Once known as Chicago's hipster haven, Wicker Park has mellowed out a bit since more families and working professionals entered the mix. These days, they're drawn to the neighborhood's housing, dining and easy commutes to corporate gigs in The Loop. But Wicker Park hasn’t completely let go of its past: Music venues and comedy clubs still attract a younger audience, and colorful murals give the neighborhood some artistic energy, even though the artists themselves were priced out years ago. Boutiques, bookstores and record shops bring lots of outsiders to the neighborhood, increasing foot traffic on streets like Milwaukee Avenue, the main strip that leads to popular neighborhoods like Logan Square and Avondale.
Wicker Park is a walkable neighborhood surrounded by local retail stores and restaurants.
Wicker Park has a high density of local retail businesses.

Sometimes it is hard for the people riding bikes in the street because of the cars parked on the side of the rode and the bicyclists have no room to ride their bike without being in the way of a car. The bus transportation is OK the bus sometime gets really full and people on the bus get irratated by people being in their space. The pedestrians can be very hardheaded the cross when their not supposed to and sometimes almost get hit by cars.
