People are so quick to talk smack about Lincoln Park, Gold Coast, River North and all the other expensive neighborhoods as being "yuppie" but honestly at least you aren't paying huge amounts of money for a piece of crap just to feel cool.

"veretina"....the king of kool.

Bucktown is overrated (though it has some nice homes if you want a nice place to live, and I still like Danny's). Wicker Park is still OK though it's less cool now than it once was. I know people who grew up in NYC who love Wicker Park and I know other people who are from big cities in Europe who love it too who don't like many other parts of Chicago - your stereotypical bull**** doesn't work.
