Introduction
Old Town is a neighborhood and historic district on Chicago’s North Side and is home to many of Chicago’s older, Victorian-era architecture. Nicknamed “The Cabbage Patch”, Old Town was once home to a large German immigrant population that planted cabbage, celery, and potatoes in the swampland of the area.
Transportation
Old Town is accessible by Chicago public transportation, including Busses #22, #72, and #156, as well as the Chicago “L” Brown Line and Red Line.
Unfortunately, this means that rideshare accidents, pedestrian accidents, motor vehicle accidents, and public transportation accidents can be common in the area.
Demographics
Old Town has a population of 28,486. According to the most recent U.S. Census, the median household income in Old Town is $100,440.
Education
Old Town has a handful of schools, which include:
- The Catherine Cook School
- Manierre Elementary School
- Immaculate Conception-St. Joseph Catholic School
- Walter L. Newberry Math & Science Academy
When sending your child off to school you assume they will remain safe, however this isn’t always the case. School bus accidents, gym and physical education accidents, lack of supervision, playground injuries, and school district negligence are just a few examples of the types of school injury cases America’s Consumer Lawyer has experience with.
Attractions
Old Town is home to a handful of activities and attractions, which include:
- Henry Gerber House
- Swedish Club of Chicago
- Midwest Buddhist Temple
- St. Michael Catholic Church
- Eugenie Triangle Park
- Bauler Playlot Park
While most of the time spent at these Old Town attractions will be enjoyable and uneventful, accidents can occur, including slip and falls, bicycle accidents, bus accidents, car accidents, drinking and driving, dog bites, and playground accidents.
