Here's an interesting article on salon.com about a recent book detailing Wicker Park in the '90s and all its hipster glory (notable quote: "It also connects Wicker Park to a larger narrative of the American urban economy, which over the course of 40 years or so has shifted its focus from heavy industry to image production and high-end consumption, a process in which hipster neighborhoods like . . . Wicker Park have been crucial").

Note: If you're not a salon.com member, you'll have to watch a 15-second commercial to read the full article. That's 15 seconds, NOT 15 minutes.
