Rounding out the top five, the Ocean District, a seaside neighborhood in Rabat, Morocco, Neos Kosmos in Athens, Chinatown in Los Angeles, and Govanhill in Glasgow, Scotland.

Yeah.
Olivia LakeHOST
As a native New Yorker, I don't know if I can trust this [laughs] list because of the FiDi shout-out.
Amy JacobsonHOST
So that's the West Loop.
Amy JacobsonHOST
I mean, where is West Town exactly? I mean, I'm from here.
Amy JacobsonHOST
I've lived here since 1996.
Amy JacobsonHOST
What's wrong
Katie RenshawGUEST
Probably really good we didn't do that.
Katie RenshawGUEST
But we started looking at West Town because it's like lots of independent owners that do well on the street.
Katie RenshawGUEST
The rents are still super reasonable.
Katie RenshawGUEST
It's a really short car from or like a decent walk from West Loop, which is kind of like the most saturated of bars and restaurants in Chicago.
Lisa Corian PhilipHOST
Ah.
Courtney KippersPANELIST
There's also this new show, um, featuring the work of artist Brendan Fernandes, and that'll be on view at Monique Meloche's gallery in West Town.
Lisa Corian PhilipHOST
Okay.
Lisa Corian PhilipHOST
Um, Claire, another story on our radar, um, this one is the case of the mysterious benches.
Jill HopkinsGUEST
And it's expanding to the 26th Ward, which is where I live.
Jill HopkinsGUEST
That's most of Humboldt Park, some of Logan Square, Westtown, Hermosa, Belmont, Cragen, and then more in the 33rd Ward, which is Albany Park, Irving Park, Avondale, and Ravenswood Manor.
Jill HopkinsGUEST
So we're talking the north and northwest side of the city.
Jill HopkinsGUEST
And there's going to be eight more boxes distributed throughout the And that's, you know, just like a thousand new boxes of Narcan are just in the 46 ward alone.
Paul AldHOST
I think I'm gonna head east towards downtown.
Paul AldHOST
um maybe lakeview lincoln park uh river north old town something like that it's going to be tough because basically you can't really get a nice apartment in those areas that has a parking spot um from what i've seen and so i just feel like i need to experience what it's like to live out there though um for at least a year you know just see what it's like see if i like it more or less than west town and experience it and then a few years from that i could definitely see myself settling in a house like out west somewhere in illinois somewhere away from the city because you know maybe i'll be sick of the city by then but i do feel like there's more to explore downtown and and on the east side and that's it a big brain dump That's everything that's been happening.
Paul AldHOST
I'm going to try to stop making these so spread out and actually bring this back to maybe a weekly or bi-weekly cadence.
Paul AldHOST
I am very sorry that this took so long to pump out, but I hope you guys enjoyed the video.
Jake HukeeHOST
Yep.
Mel HatchGUEST
Tomatoes, West Town, West Loop-esque, West Town-ish.
Mel HatchGUEST
And then Tribeca's in the West Loop.
Mel HatchGUEST
Avondale.
Wade MullerGUEST
Okay? Like, yeah, lots of teams in that boat, and there's gonna be a lot of teams in the next five to 10 years that don't want to admit that eight-man football is the way they need to go, but that's gonna be the way they need to go.
Sam MadoniaHOST
How can they get a hold of Wade Muller, West Town Ford, Jacksonville?
Wade MullerGUEST
Yeah, now that everybody's had this, uh-
Sam MadoniaHOST
[laughs]
Sam MadoniaHOST
And as Greg Hoblitzelle told us, we're gonna be in the 90s next week, so plan accordingly.

Sam MadoniaHOST
Morning, my friend.
Sam MadoniaHOST
