I’ll be honest, Rogers Park and I have had a love/hate relationship for a few years now. I mean, we’re still on pretty good terms but at times I just feel like my needs aren’t being completely taken into account, and it hurts. All discrepancies aside, I do have to admit that riding up the lakefront path, which ends at the Loyola Campus, there is a certain charm to the nabe. On one side you have the university and all that comes along with it: students, jesuits, bookstores, bars and the like. On the other hand, there is Devon in which you can gorge on the most delicious of Indian fare or check out the shops. Overall, the nabe is pretty chill during the day, at night however parts of it can feel a little sketchy. But hey, the redline runs right through it and as long as you’re not too far gone to maneuver your way into the station, you’re good to go.
