I am sure there are west side people here, but the people that live in places like Humboldt Park and Ukrainian Village are hesitant to put down west side as their location.

I'd say UV and HP could be considered NW as easy as W.

Did you not vote in your own poll? Are Wicker Park and Bucktown not west side?

Well, I suppose so. I just always think of Jefferson Park and all that stuff up there as NW. I To me, I always saw Hermosa and Avondale as the 'beginning' of the NW side.

It's definitely a decision that anyone who answers the poll has to make, but I consider Wicker Park/Bucktown/Humboldt and even Ukrainian Village Northwest Side hoods, myself. Others may have their own interpretation. Here's a map of Chicago's north & northwest sides, I found it at some realty website.

Looking at it closer it contains part of the south loop and near west, but, hey...

There's "near" northwest and far northwest.

How is saying I live on the northwest side north side envy?

That's ridiculous. I live over 1 mile north and over 1 mile west, in almost equal increments, that, my friend *is* northwest, and f**k the north side, I don't envy it one bit!
