Old Town is bordered from Division north to Armitage and from Clark Street west to Halsted.
German farmers and merchants settled this neighborhood in the mid-1800s. The great Chicago Fire destroyed this neighborhood, but the brick walls of St. Michael's Catholic Church remained and it was rebuilt. After WWII, North Town became known as Old Town. Over time, the area experienced a decline as the business mix and economic climate changed. This area was a hippie haven in the 1960s and 1970s. Then, with an aggressive beautification program, it began to revive itself and became one of Chicago's first renovated neighborhoods. Today, Old Town is lively, city neighborhood with a strong residential and business base that continues to grow and prosper, yet somehow maintains a certain small-town feel.
West of LaSalle Street is the residential district of Old Town, boasting some of the best-preserved turn-of-the-century architecture. The neighborhood is known for its renovated historic charm of town homes, quiet courtyards, and walk-ups. The residential areas rapidly gentrified once the nearby housing project - Cabrini Green - was finally razed.
Shopping of all kinds is abundant, as well as cinema, theater, popular restaurants and bars. The center of nightlife in Old Town is Wells Street, where there is as well a string of reliable restaurants and bars. The major strips of commerce are definitely abuzz with the activity of a big city: Wells and Division streets, North Avenue, and the intersection of North and Clybourn avenues.
Old Town is home to the famous Second City, the training ground for such comedians as John Belushi, Joan Rivers and other popular stars. The Second City was started in a former Chinese establishment on the edge of Old Town in 1959.
