When I lived in Chicago, I had a lovely apartment in Ravenswood on the north side. I’d spend my days in Lincoln Square or further south in Wrigleyville and Lincoln Park. During my recent trip. I revisited some of these places to see what remains and what has changed.

I was pleased to see so much is just as I left it (or even better), but disappointed that some of the more independent German places are gone now. Change happens everywhere all the time, I suppose.
