Chicago by L: Bucktown!

Bangs, boots, beer, and bikes.  Get your hipster game on because this is your virtual trip to Chicago's  Bucktown neighborhood.  In Bucktown you can get a get a Chicago microbrew, stop by one of only three Chrome stores in the US (Chicago, New York, San Francisco),  or dodge hipsters in cowboy boots to wiggle your way into a used bookstore or boutique liquor store.  What used to be a working class neighborhood, whose name may have originated from the large number of goats-bucks- raised by Polish immigrants that settled there in the 19th c., is now a neighborhood not unlike Portland's East side. Take a few cowboy boot clad hipsters in skinny jeans, toss in a few Chrome accessorized bike commuters and moms in expensive yoga wear, and you will have a good sense of Bucktown.  

Liquor and books - together at last.

The ever present L uniting the city in its diversity.

Principled individualism of the upwardly mobile combine with architecture that shows the transformation of a working class village to an elite 'hip' neighborhood.

While taking a picture of these boots I heard a young girl next to me declare, 
"GIRRRRLLL, Those boots be making some HEAT."

The ever present L tracks cut through the neighborhood and rumble over the heads of pedestrians.

Old and new is present in a strange cocktail of architecture.
