I really like the skateparks in that area though.[close]Try just cruising around for in Roseland/West Pulman area. There's perfect spots everywhere and the later in the night you go the less of a bust it is.

I'll be in Chicago for one night in late April, any suggestions for a neighbourhood to go drinking that isn't overly touristy? Staying near Wicker Park. Thanks
Also, RIP Art Institute.

My girl lives in Logan Square and it's a little better but lots of dudes wearing what I believe are tights. I don't leave the blue line much. Fuck.I'm old and a pussy so I'm not skating when it's 10 degrees, but after this horse shit somebody go skate with me.
