Top 10 Chicago neighbourhoods

Chicago is not just a city of people but a city of neighbourhoods—you can’t walk onto most Chicago streets without seeing signs proudly proclaiming the neighbourhood’s name. And there’s a reason—Chicago is one of the greatest immigrant cities in America, with over twenty percent of its population being foreign-born, and the rest coming from a diverse set of backgrounds. In the words of Tony Kushner, “it’s the melting pot where nothing ever melted”, which means that each neighbourhood is unlike any other. While this means that Chicago suffers from being one of America’s most segregated cities, it also means that each neighbourhood boasts a distinct culture. Such is the Chicago paradox, and since you can’t fight it you might as well enjoy it. If you’re headed to Chicago, these are the top 10 Chicago neighbourhoods you just can’t miss.
