Rush Street is a very popular stretch of Chicago, Illinois. It has everything in a short radius. There are restaurants, shops, and what the street is best known for, amazing bars. The nightlife in this area is incredible and it seems as though there is always something fun to be doing. You can go out and get a great dinner and then drink the night away in nice bars. There are many ways to get around, though transportation is not always cheap (taxis charge quite a bit). However, if you live in the area or stay at a hotel, you can just walk. It is relatively safe, though there are some problems. These problems typically stem from people being intoxicated and not able to watch their surroundings. Chicago is a big city and you must remember to be wary. Otherwise, Rush Street is classy, fun, and a great place to live!

The Lincoln Square neighborhood a mostly residential neighborhood with a good mix of single-family homes and 6-unit apartment buildings, with some larger apartment buildings mixed in. Most of the housing dates to the early 1900's, but there is some newer construction. Definitely an upper-class, family-centered area. There is an actual Lincoln Square that anchors a fun business district, with a German-style apothecary, wonderful dessert shop, retro hair salon, and two independent book stores, one selling used books and the other selling a carefully curated selection of new books. Perhaps the most unique business in the area is one of Chicago's last bowling alleys without an automated scoring system. Lincoln Square is easily accessible by public transit. Buses run down Lawrence, the Metro North Line Ravenswood stop is about five blocks away from the heart of Lincoln Square, and the Damen Brown Line El station is right by Lincoln Square itself. Other attractions in the area include the Old Town School of Folk Music, a large, green park with softball in the summer, and a seasonal farmers' market right by the El station.

I work in Mercy Hospital and I live around 15 minutes from the hospital . Traffic could be bad especially during the rush hours. I like the fact that I can jog in Lake Michigan, have a great breakfast in Billy Goat Tavern which can even consist of their favorite cheeseburgers. Afterwards, I could go to H and M and do my weekly shopping there. I love living in Michigan Avenue because there is a diverse group of people who are busy but are quite laid back enough to jog and to greet me. I like the fact that everything is within reach. Lastly, I like the fact that we have a lot of restaurants such as Bandera and C – View restaurant.
