    "The best events North Center offers are its Farmers' Market in the summers, and the Rib Fest at the beginning of June. They also just built up a pedestrian square between Damen and Lincoln, which has tons of space to spread out and relax."

    "Lots of dogs here, very friendly to dogs and the river trail is a great addition. Many restaurants are also dog friendly. I would guess that most people in north center like dogs but there are also some wild cats that are very friendly. Dog owners may be jealous of all the happy cats. I personally don’t care for dogs but that’s not part of the question."

    "Great schools, wonderful community. Our children play with many of the kids on the block. Summers are filled with riding your bike on the sidewalks, kids playing with chalk and water balloon fights. A highlight of our summer is the block party. We invite friends with their kids and the children play from day till night. "
