FULL EPISODE: Lincoln Square, Chicago | Main Streets
Tucked away in the north side of Chicago, the Lincoln Square neighborhood is as charming as it is busy.
It boasts a main street straight out of a Norman Rockwell painting. During his visit, John McGivern enjoys the German roots still present, but also finds many ethnicities in this diverse neighborhood.

Loved this!! We moved to Lincoln Square in 1994, same year that Timeless Toys opened.
I grew up in LS, but there's just 1 problem. He said it was 2 miles EAST of Lake Michigan. Sorry pal, but its WEST. If it was 2 miles east of the lake, it would be in Michigan.
I watched the show for the first time tonight and I really enjoyed it. I'm liked that it's fast pace and covers a lot of ground, instead of including long build-ups and long-exits. In and out without regret. The visuals are outstanding. Remembering a picture can say a thousand words, such a compilation of photos, videos and graphics really filled out the stories and the dialogue. John McGivern does a great job.... take funny to the edge of silly and it works great. Very very entertaining. I'' be back for sure.... time well spent.
Was just going to say, two miles east of lake michigan? Someone beat me to it 😀
I grew up here and still live near! I love this video! Thank you
Thanks. Well Done!
Glad Emily Fink is part of this program too.
McGivern is no beginner on the guitar... I saw those pickin' fingers
Leaving the commercials in, at the start and finish, is annoying.
Now, about 7 minutes in, he talks about Welles Park but then shows an aerial view of RIVER PARK, about a mile away 🙄 🙄
"iTs VeRy DiVeRsE" it shouldn't be it was founded by Germans. That's the trouble with Chicago, every "ethnic neighborhood" isn't the ethnicity it began as. Swedish, German, Bohemian, Polish, Italian, Greek, you name it, it changed. There's diversity then there's chaos.
Lol. Dude got the location wrong in first 30 seconds... it's 2 miles WEST of the lake. Js. Makes me not want to watch the rest of it, as a 25 year resident of LS
