I discovered a part of Chicago today that I thought I knew. Wrong. It’s Old Town – which I thought of primarily as Wells Street near North. But after wandering around the Wells Street Art Fair today, I discovered the Old Town Art Fair a little northwest – in a neighborhood I’d somehow missed all these years, around Menominee and Wisconsin. Beautiful residential area. Fun art fair too.
