U of C I am guessing. I lived in 54th and the lake, and then on 55th and Ellis, and 57th and Maryland, and finally at 56th and Blackstone. Too bad my whole experience in Chicago was in Hyde Park. I wish I had a chance to live in the fun part of the town. Wicker Park has changed dramatically from years ago. I visited a friend there last year, and didn't recognize anything except for some old store fronts on North Ave which are disappearing fast. It is all trendy Lincoln Park-ish liberal hell-hole.
Yes, I am a U of C alumnus and I actually preferred Hyde Park AND Uptown to Wicker Park (I spent three months in the latter living in a rectory). Uptown was an odd amalgam of Russians, Vietnamese, Nigerians, Gays, with elderly Swedes and Appalachian whites to round out the mix. Close to the Red Line and I only paid $360(!) a month for my tiny studio. I actually worked as a Republican poll watcher for the '98 election.
