If you ignore the joggers it's cool.

I like this neighborhood mostly, it has interesting architecture and great transportation to downtown.
There's a great occult book store on Milwaukee, a communist book store, a record store, and some cool clothes shops on Ashland. La Pasadita, Mariscos El Veneno, and Pizza Metro are great restaurants. Unfortunately Division Avenue from Damen to Ashland has become a stretch of uninspired high priced shops and bars.
If you're willing to dodge the jogging middle class, and stay away from their stronghold on Division this is a great neighborhood!
