Description

Uptown, Chicago Community Area #3 sits 6 miles directly north of the Loop. Uptown can boast of a rich history that is equal parts ritzy and ragged. The community has thrived during the glory of the jazz age and suffered mightily during the Great Depression. Uptown was once the hub of the early American Movie industry. Its ornate theaters, grand ballrooms, nightclubs, apartment buildings, mansions and central commercial district are amongst the finest architectural masterpieces in the city.

Cheers - Lee

As I now live in Uptown, I should come out on the ride and check out more of the hood than I have. I can also bring you up to speed on certain recent local events (political) and some of the history of the Buena Park "L" stop along the Red line (it was removed during the 1940's)

Later,
