I really like your write-ups and individual takes!<br /><br />You should your reviews on Yelp as well and connect the two to encourage more traffic to your site.<br /><br />It might also be easier to refer to individual establishment reviews if you put them each as a blog post - then have a "master" post for the neigborhood (Edgewater in this case) that links to each review? People might want to link to a specific place and it would make that a lot easier.<br /><br />Also found this the other day and thought you might get find it useful!<br /><br />http://collections.carli.illinois.edu/cdm4/index_uic_idot.php?CISOROOT=/uic_idot<br /><br />Keep up the great work!Pablohttp://www.iampablo.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3745853352605490549.post-25952951793461239622011-02-17T20:46:42.862-06:002011-02-17T20:46:42.862-06:00First of all, thank you everyone for your comments...First of all, thank you everyone for your comments in our blog. Laura and I are floored (in a good way) by your interest. Just to get back to a couple of responses, in regards to density, it was strictly a calculating error on my part. I appreciate you posting the link to the data from the Census. One thing is that my calculations take the community area size to the hundredth decimal, whereas that one only takes it to the tenth. Therefore, our numbers will vary slightly. Still, going back and crunching the numbers I have Edgewater now as the MOST dense, even ahead of Near North. That being said, I can't verify which size for the Near North community area (1.5 sq mi) or mine (2.72 sq mi) is correct. Hopefully I can find this information so that I can stop making demographic errors.<br /><br />Secondly, thanks for the suggestion on the typeface for the headings. We'll make the change for the next go-round.<br /><br />We'll definitely do a follow-up write-up at some point, and Metropolis Café is on our list of places to go. Thanks again for everyone's support!Laura and Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16454065247071768193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3745853352605490549.post-83867986171794819232011-02-17T11:18:00.567-06:002011-02-17T11:18:00.567-06:00Oh, just a minute layout comment.

The bright blue color you use on your links is slightly difficult to read against the black.<br /><br />Other than that I'm loving this blog :)Linzard03https://www.blogger.com/profile/18379820764973125986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3745853352605490549.post-23014111026655327662011-02-17T11:12:40.130-06:002011-02-17T11:12:40.130-06:00I just moved from Edgewater after living there a y...I just moved from Edgewater after living there a year & I think your "Final Tally" sums it up beautifully. It was an affordable, convenient place to live & you can't beat the proximity to the lakefront & non-crowded beaches when it's warm!<br /><br />If you head back be sure not to miss Metropolis Cafe (amazing coffee, great service & comfy seating/atmosphere) and Berger Park (huge astroturf playground that my nephews loved w/stunning views of the city. Home of the Waterfront Cafe w/ a nice patio, wine/beer & live music over the summer. Also a theatre & movies in the park) on Sheridan & Granville. You should also try one of the many Ethiopian restaurants in the area.<br /><br />I look forward to reading more on your blog!Linzard03https://www.blogger.com/profile/18379820764973125986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3745853352605490549.post-35782412105965807502011-02-16T20:49:21.902-06:002011-02-16T20:49:21.902-06:00Well keep in mind that was 2000,they could be refe...Well keep in mind that was 2000,they could be referring to 2010's census.<br /><br />Great job! I wasn't used to the neighborhood at first because I was longing for all the perks of Lincoln Park and the buzz of downtown but I have grown to love it a lot,the easy accessibility to beaches and transportation makes it very appealing.Deanna Kozarovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01585989480267143862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3745853352605490549.post-31376735969149156112011-02-16T13:02:28.850-06:002011-02-16T13:02:28.850-06:00I really liked your write-up.

According to this 2000 data - http://www.demographia.com/db-chi-nhd2000.htm - it appears it's the 2nd most densely populated Chicago neighborhood, not the 8th as you indicated.curtis khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04210166296823720073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3745853352605490549.post-47079503502965600172011-02-15T12:24:27.736-06:002011-02-15T12:24:27.736-06:00Great coverage of a great neighborhood!
