Roger's Park
Description
A melting pot mingling many ethnicities and diverse cultures, not to mention students from all walks of life attending Loyola University, Rogers Park is a largely residential neighbourhood bound by Lake Michigan to the east, West Ridge to the west and Edgewater to the south. Apartment blocks built in red, brown or occasionally yellow brick dominate the area, while independent shops, bars and many restaurants line the main throughfares of North Clark Street and North Rogers Avenue.
Places of note within Rogers Park include Loyola University, the Glenwood Sunday Market that provides sustainable and often organic foods from local farms, and also the New 400 Theaters. Loyola Park and Loyola Beach line the coast, offering open air ameneties, while further inland Pottawattomie Park offers fitness programmes, sporting areas and a gym.
Transport through the district is aided by the Red, Yellow and Purple 'L' lines.
