Rogers Park

The northernmost Chicago neighborhood before Evanston. Sketchy around Howard but east Rogers Park is a liberal, progressive enclave. Check out the Heartland Cafe, peruse the books in Armadillo's Pillow and grab coffee at Ethiopian Royal Cofeee. There are kind old hippies everywhere, the beaches are an incredible mix of ethnicities and very family oriented. A nature lover's paradise. You can always find students from Loyola University hanging out in hammocks or smoking doinks on the pier. Always a party going on somewhere. A laid back vibe far removed from corporate downtown. Basically, A cool place to be.

"Yo come up to Rogers Park later and smoke a bowl at the beach before this Marxist meeting"
"Yea I'm down."

University Park

A very dope little town in PG County, Maryland under 5 miles from the D.C. border. Technically a part of Hyattsville but has its own government and police force who mostly drive around trying to find kids smoking weed. A Whole Foods just opened right by UP and a lot of residents are very health conscious. Trees everywhere, a creek running through the woods, nice single family houses, peaceful vibe. Everyone looks out for each other. Has become very expensive though. Most people commute to DC for their government jobs, are professors at UMD, or retired. A place where families cooexist with intellectuals, pretentious soccer moms driving Mercedes and aging hippies. Its sandwhiched between Hyattsville proper and College Park. Teens are always drunk. Always a good time to throw down in UP.

"Where are you from?"
"PG County."
"Oh shit...isnt it like really ghetto there?"
"Nah man, I live in University Park."
"Oh word."
