General geographic boundaries are Lake Michigan on the east, the Loop on the south, the north branch of the Chicago River on the west and Evanston, Illinois on the north (though these are contested). Home to Wrigley Field, DePaul University and Lincoln Park. Undoubtedly among the most prosperous and vibrant urban areas of the United States.
