Okay, no doubt about it. We've fallen smitten with Andersonville.
About three miles straight north of where we live now, Andersonville is a vibrant community. It contains some great restaurants (we tried Big Jones the other night with our friends Rebecca, Will, Greg and Gaby - delicious southern comfort food!) and delicious chocolates. We walked up and down the bustling Clark Street, exploring the various stores and eateries and generally admiring the neighborhood's character. Not nearly as "glitzy" as Lincoln Park, but fun and comfortable. We could live here. We even peeked in at an open house and were happy to find that the home prices in Andersonville are substantially less expensive than home prices in other neighborhoods.
We biked to our walks today, so we got a good workout. Biked three miles to Andersonville, another three over to Devon Avenue, and then six or seven back home via the lakefront bike path. That far north, the eighteen mile long lakefront bike path is surprisingly uncrowded. It was very relaxing to spend some time on the path rather than the streets - though I'm generally a fearless biker, I still don't like having to weave amongst all of those cars.
