Exploring Lincoln Park Chicago. The BEST Neighborhood in the City 

Yeah, that's one thing Chicago has going for it over NYC. It's very clean! There's definitely tourists there, I just wasn't in the main touristy areas in this video, but it's also not as crowded as it once was either.

Crime happens there every day stop lying to yourself

lakeview is another very cool neighborhood. its very dense so it has alot of people walking around kind of like a downtown of a major city

It's a great neighborhood! I really enjoyed it when I used to live there!

@@Jamesnu if you don’t mind me asking, what made up decide to leave?

@@Maya_Ruinz I always dreamed of living in NYC and I felt like I needed a fresh start. So that's why I moved, but I still love Chicago and Lincoln Park!

Thank you! That makes me really happy to hear!

Thank you!

I know what you mean. The bus is definitely the most direct option. I took the L that time for the walk and to see more of the neighborhood. I lived in that building from the end of 2011 until 2018. For the most part, I liked it there, but I love Lincoln Park!

Thank you! I appreciate it!

Hi and thanks for watching! I really loved living in Lincoln Park, it's definitely, at least in my opinion, the best neighborhood in Chicago. I always felt safe in the neighborhood. I know Chicago has changed since the few years I've been away, but I always feel that the majority of those crime stories don't showcase the big picture of the area. Still, if it's late at night and there aren't many people around I would definitely be paying attention, but during the day you should be fine. I hope that helps.

Thanks so much! I'm happy to hear you had a great time. Lincoln Park is such a nice place.

Thanks for watching! Best of luck with the apartment search! Lincoln Park is an amazing neighborhood!

Hey Zane, have you moved yet? And check out the West Loop, and the South loop too? There are just as incredible as Lincoln Park....well close to it lololol...very close.

Yeah, I really enjoyed living there too! I have a lot of memories there as well.

It's been a place that has experienced a lot of changes, but it's still a great neighborhood to come back to.

It's not terrible. But it always feels like some street is under construction and that certainly complicates things, but knowing ahead of time one can plan accordingly. Plus, there are a lot more ways to get to Lincoln Park than other parts of Chicago.

Thanks! I really appreciate it!

I've been to Mott Street before and really enjoyed it! It's definitely a place I would do a review, but there's also a lot of other great restaurants in Chicago that I would like to try.

@@JamesnuMy bad - sometimes vloggers request suggestions. I see you have a long list of video ideas already. 👍

@@skatingcanuck9837 No worries. It's still a place that I would make a video on.

But it's really nice when you're zooming down it in a car!

It's a great place!

Fantastic! Yeah, Lincoln Park is an amazing area of Chicago!

Don't do it. Lived here 45 years. It's turning into a shitehole again. We were here the 1st time. I don't plan to be here for it to go there again! Wtf overpriced for NO police around!

@@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823 Dang It Ur Fr Bc I Was About To Move Dare To Let Alone Get Me A Permanent Residence Inna Chicago Downtown Loop Area In 1 Of Dose Skyscraper Condos🤌🤝💯

Fair enough. I haven't spent too much time there.

Thanks for watching! Yeah, all of Chicago has changed a lot even during the time I lived there. It certainly has gotten more expensive, but there are still some really beautiful areas. I still really love the city!

Thank you! I love Lincoln Park!

Thanks! I'm just a little bit Irish, but I'm mainly Italian and Polish.

Thanks for watching! Chicago is such a great place and I hope you're able to live there one day!

Nice! Yeah, I love Lincoln Park, but indeed, Hyde Park is a special place as well!

Thanks Sarah!

Thank you for watching and the very kind words! I love Lincoln Park and Chicago. I was happy to be able to share my experience on this day.

Fair enough. That's just my opinion.

Nice! Thanks for watching! I hope that you were able to relive some good memories!

I'm sorry to hear that. Neighborhoods are constantly changing and sometimes it's not for the better.

YES!! AGREE FULLY!! It's now a shitehole!

@@Jamesnu The problem is: you pay a good 30k a year in property tax. So, you'd reasonably expect some services. Silly you. A guy tried to jimmy the lock across my street. Neighbor described him to a T. I SEE the sob wandering around, with a large knife on him. Wtf??? I call the cops. They call me back. Told me they can only get him for trespassing. Are you F'ing KIDDING ME??!! And it gets WORSE the further E you go! One chef student got shot. Then, SAME GD block (!!!), a woman gets held up at gunpoint. I'm tired of this overpriced and way underserved bs. For 30k+ in tax...? I can drive in to see Kristkindle or the museums or whatever. Then drive TF AWAY again. 😒 One block is notorious for carjackings. Lincoln and Fullerton by Biograph theatre. Dillinger got shot OUTSIDE, where the alley is, not in the building, btw. I don't go there for any reason w/o at least 2 dogs and a can of mace. I won't hesitate to use either one. The banks are now known to lock the doors DURING BUSINESS HOURS. They don't DO a F'ing thing. Good job, Lightfoot. Anyone who voted for you is regretting it now. Thanks for absolutely nothing and protecting lowlifes instead of decent, VOTING citizens. Don't wonder why we're all leaving. Either. I've seen human crap around in DePaul. Both nasty people and actual sh*t. I know of two people who got held up at gunpoint. I know of at least three break ins. Had two cars damaged and they didn't bother to pay up. Sorry, but if I go to the south side, they're going to ask wtf I'm doing there, right? And rightfully so. Should be the same here. Lived there 45 friggin years. If I didn't own a business there, I'd leave TOMORROW. You're a moron to be impressed by stuff you could drive over to see. If you must. All bars are the same. Parking is a NIGHTMARE most of the time because students are lazy af and cheap. Uber and whoever dump their crap just wherever. Mail theft. You name it. I've been shoved by grown men twice. Don't know these lowlifes. For that, I could buy a house in Pullman they couldn't GIVE away because of where it is. Right near a shitehole DMZ.

That’s great! I hope you enjoy it! The thing about Chicago weather is it could be one season and feel like another, so you may luck out. Yeah, all of the typical tourist spots are really good. Although, personally I think that Navy Pier is probably the most over-rated of them all, but it’s still alright. If you’re going in December, you should check out the Christkindlmarket, it’s probably one of the best Christmas markets in the country. It does get crowded and it’s not cheap, but it looks really neat! Food wise, I would recommend checking out some of the neighborhoods or at least get a little away from the touristy spots, since the food is usually much better and less expensive.

I love Chicago too! The architecture there is really unique!

@@Jamesnu beautiful city very beautiful

That's exciting! The area is amazing and I feel like it's in one of the best spots in Chicago. The building is a little far from the L stop, but you get used to it. Overall, I have no complaints about the building. I know they renovated it since I lived there so it's probably even better than when I stayed there. I hope you enjoy it!

@@Jamesnu Thank you, I keep psyching myself out over what ifs. Mostly due to having experienced some intense rodent issues in the past.

@@nostodmas I know what you mean. Luckily I've never had a rodent issue during my time there. I actually didn't even see my room until the day I moved in as well. Best of luck with the move!

Fantastic! The neighborhood will always be one of my favorite places in the city!

Absolutely! It's one of my favorite spots in the neighborhood.

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching!

I’m moving there

@@NarcoFrmontario Nice! I hope that you enjoy the neighborhood.

I miss it too! I made a lot of memories there.

It's not perfect, but I enjoy it.

@@Jamesnu That's a great attitude to have. Props to you. Feel like I scrutinize myself a little too much.

@@sajanaryal6932 Thank you! I do the same thing at points.

This was a while ago when masks were required.

They actually look like a normal person. You're just rude and probably someone who fell for dangerous propaganda. Go lick some doorknobs or put your whole mouth over public water fountain spouts or whatever it is you rona deniers do in your free time. I don't read replies. ✨

That's unfortunate. Lincoln Park, like the rest of the city, has its problems.

@@Jamesnu well chicago is unfountuntely a shit hole because of the crime there idk how people live there

zero murders in one of the most populated neighborhoods in the city

@@hyemuhyemu8221 It's definitely one of the safer areas of Chicago.

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4Jh-wS4X274.html&ab_channel=CBSChicago Its creeping everywhere in that city, no where is safe.

RepubliKKKans wouldn't do no better

@@jasmineshenault7603 Republicans would be educated enough to not use double negatives.

Chicago definitely has areas not as safe as others, but in my experience, living in the city for 12 years, Lakeview and downtown are among the better places, but one should always be careful though.

Thanks for watching!

Indeed, no neighborhood is perfect. I've seen mice, but not often, it's nothing like the amount of rodents found in NYC and the walk to the L, at least where I used to live was kind of far. Still, compared to other Chicago neighborhoods, I think Lincoln Park is one of the best and has a lot to offer.

Thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it! While I live in NYC, Chicago will always remain a home and special place for me. Plus, the food scene in the city is awesome!

@@Jamesnu Well you always know where the best eats are! hope you had/have a lovely visit home

I sure did!
