Great video. This stretch has some of the best historic architectural fabric in the city and lovely artwork. So many north side corridors have been watered down with modern soulless boxes.
What made you walk Pilsen? Especially 18th street? It’s other parts of Pilsen outside of 18th street. I hope to see more authentic walking videos that represent your perspective and not other channels.
Thanks for the comment! This was my first time exploring Pilsen, and people online had said 18th street would be a good place to start. I do plan to go film more walking videos in Pilsen. Where else in this neighborhood or others would you recommend I go?
@ I’d recommend being more authentic as stated above. When you decide to walk only streets and neighborhoods that other RUclipsrs walk, it comes off as un-authentic. It’s ok to show viewers something different.
@@Darknight-d1t I definitely do want to use my channel to show corners of Chicago that typically get less love and attention. But I also need to account for what most people are searching for on RUclips and cater to that to a certain degree as my channel is in its infancy, and I'm trying to build an audience. I really appreciate you comment, and if there is somewhere specific you would like me to check out and record, please let me know!
@@Darknight-d1t I see what you're saying but there's also the fact that repeated exposure is how places become more popular. 18th street is far from Michigan Ave. type coverage. It's the streets like 18th, Milwaukee, Devon, Belmont, Lincoln, Argyle etc. that have people saying; "I had no idea Chicago looks like this" or "like that." Outsiders rarely see neighborhoods highlighted so they picture Chicago as skyscrapers and ghettos.

Thanks! I definitely want to explore this area more.
Love this place.

What would you recommend? Pilsen isn't exactly spoiled for choice. 18th is cliche for a reason, who cares that other channels showcase it.
