Bucktown

(Back to Map)

The borders of Bucktown are often confused for those of nearby trendy Wicker Park. But, Bucktown is a neighborhood with a character all its own. Once a neighborhood of predominately Polish immigrants, Bucktown was named for the goats that were kept in many of the poorer residents' backyards (a male goat is called a "buck"). Later, Spanish-speaking families replaced most of the Polish community. These days, upscale restaurants, trendy nightclubs, and high-end clothing boutiques attract a more style-conscious sect. Rent prices have increased dramatically and real estate bargains in this area are becoming increasingly hard to come by. Plenty of nightclubs can be found between Bucktown and bordering Wicker Park. When the sun goes down, the Northside Bar and Grill is a favorite hangout for neighborhood veterans. There you will find an eclectic group of people drinking everything from Bloody Mary’s to Old Style Beer and enjoying a wide variety of comfort foods. As an artist’s haven, Bucktown hosts quite a few galleries and artistic shops. Besides the landmark Flat Iron Building (Photo) at 1579 N. Milwaukee Avenue, which houses numerous galleries, Bucktown boasts a number of artist-run stores. they all open their doors during the Around the Coyote Festival in early September.  More Info.(Wikipedia)
