Don't diss on the Rogers Park too much. I do agree that there are a few more crackheads than necessary, but they're all up on Morse and Howard. I live right near the Loyola stop and besides the occasional drunken Loyola student, it's pretty nice here.

Metropolis Coffee on Granville is a great place to hang out –*their coffee is excellent and the free wireless is nice, too. Blue Elephant at 1400-ish on Devon serves up some delicious and cheap Asian food. I really like the diner on the corner of Clark and Devon when I don't feel like going to Heartland Cafe. Both of those places have pretty decent food and the prices are right.

I'm sure I've seen you around if you live up here –*what do you ride?
