Chicago - Ravenswood & Lincoln Square
Residents of Chicago's Ravenswood neighborhood enjoy small shops, outdoor cafes, the annual Apple Fest & Farmer's Market and the lovely architectural homes of the East Ravenswood Historic District.
The Lincoln Square neighborhood has been designated a historic preservation district. This gorgeous residential area has an "Old World" feel to it - due to the zoning, size of the tree-lined streets and beautiful architecture.
"Encircling the neighborhood's main business and entertainment district, which is basically a single street lined with quaint storefront shops and restaurants, are rows of three- and four-flat buildings with a few single-family homes tucked in among the multi-unit brick and stone residences. A vintage movie theater and the city's oldest bowling lanes find their home in Lincoln Square, as does Oktoberfest, where Chicagoans come every year to celebrate their German roots and, of course, drink beer.
