A Chicago neighborhood has received a prestigious accolade in a recent ranking by TimeOut, which listed the 38 “coolest neighborhoods in the world,” compiled from feedback from the publication’s “network of on-the-ground experts” around the world.
Although the ranking includes neighborhoods in cities from all corners of the world, Logan Square on Chicago’s North Side was named one of the few American neighborhoods to make the list, ranking 34th.
