Fran,
This is a cute idea, but I’m somewhat surprised not to see Wrigleyville listed on the map – has something changed recently? Have Uptown and Lakeview goobled up Wrigleyville? (Also, I’m used to not seeing River West – my own neighborhood – listed, but we’re often included as part of West Town (in this map as Goose Island). West Town appears to have migrated southward in this map…)
Love the blog, btw!

Thank you, b! I’m glad you like my blog. If you have any suggestions for posts, please let me know!

You are quite correct that not every Chicago neighborhood is shown. It’s really a combination of neighborhoods and official Chicago areas. Perhaps another artist will take on the challenge of creating a work that truly includes every Chicago neighborhood.
