My roommate and I (one of fifteen roommates, welcome to a sorority!) go on weekly runs through downtown and up into Lincoln Park, and this time we decided to explore a little neighborhood along the way! We fell in loveeee with Old Town. Not only is it known as one of Chicago’s most historic neighborhoods with gorgeous victorian architecture and colossal cathedrals, but it is now home to upscale boutiques and adorable flower shops. Did I mention we saw lots of puppies?! Yep. Definitely love at first sight in Old Town!
