My very first post clearly states that my friend lives on the SW corner of Lincoln Park. You act as you know the area well, but you somehow you don't know that this is Old Town. Now PJ tells us that no place in Lincoln Park is an hour walk from Wrigley. Well, Google it if you like PJ, but the SW corner of Lincoln Park, which is Old Town, is an hour walk to Wrigley.
What I explained is happening with the planned BLM disruptions of this area and the Oak Street Beach area each weekend. It may be happening at other times, but my friend only weekends in the city, and I've not discussed midweek issues.
