Open Streets Chicago is back: On September 15th from 10am to 3pm, three miles of Milwaukee Avenue will be blocked off to cars, giving you the freedom to dart from shop to shop with no regard for traffic. Run, walk, bike, or rollerblade your way over there to explore this stretch of Wicker Park, Logan Square, and Bucktown. [Red Eye]
