    "Nothing really makes it stand out from other areas of the city. It’s basic and has no charm. It’s too bad."

    "Every summer there’s the Puerto Rican parade, a week long carnival set up in the park (now with an entrance fee, prior years were free entrance), multiple smaller festivals and there’s always at least some type of local event in the surrounding areas to explore. "

    "Somewhat decent considering it being the Northside of Chicago. Heading to work in the northwest suburbs are good if you leave early enough. However, high traffic starts at 1 and ends at 630 ish expect delays on fridays, snow , rain and Wednesdays "

    "The festivals are fun, there are a few: Puerto Rican fest. West fest. Ukrainian village fests. Smyth park has amazing Fire works. The Alligator in the park was exciting, he thankfully was captured safely. It is very Dog friendly. It is also quite Artsy over here with a few talented Tattoo shops. "
