But there's probably alot more competition for the young people to go to than back in the 1980s.
To be fair to Westwood, Georgettown in DC and Lincoln Park in Chicago arent what they used to be either. Georgetown was a popular spot for young people in the 1990s but
I just dont hear about it as much anymore.

I think in the 90's and early 2000's Lincoln Park was popular because for a lot of scared suburbanites it represented a "safe" place to hang out in Chicago. At the time wicker park, logan square were still grimy, Pilsen was still Pilsen, the west loop industrial, and even lakeview was still more weird than hip.
