Living in Lincoln Park certainly has its perks. Residents live within walking distance of one of Chicago's best parks and most are only a bus ride away from a great beach. Not to mention all of the great shops, restaurants and music venues that are dispersed throughout the area. We wanted to explore every corner of the the neighborhood, so we fielded suggestions from some prominent Lincoln Park residents.
