It is designated as [[Community areas of Chicago|Community Area]] 6 of the city. It is bordered by [[Diversey Parkway (Chicago)|West Diversey Parkway]] on the south, West Irving Park Road on the north, North Ravenswood Avenue on the west, and the shore of [[Lake Michigan]] on the east. The [[Uptown, Chicago|Uptown]] community area is to Lake View's north, [[Lincoln Square, Chicago|Lincoln Square]] to its northwest, [[North Center, Chicago|North Center]] to its west and [[Lincoln Park, Chicago|Lincoln Park]] to its south. The 2000 population of Lake View was 94,817 residents, making it the second largest of the [[Chicago community areas]] by population, following [[Austin, Chicago|Austin]] which has 117,527 residents. Lake View, though, has a higher population density than the larger (area-wise) Austin neighborhood. Lake View is unofficially divided into smaller neighborhood enclaves: Lakeview East, West Lakeview and Wrigleyville. Wrigleyville is home to [[Wrigley Field]] and the [[Chicago Cubs]]; the surrounding neighborhood is known for its sports bars and diehard fans. Lakeview East forms the area popularly known as [[Boystown, Chicago|Boystown]] famous for its [[Gay pride|pride]] parade held every June. New Town is a formerly-used community name designating the area centered at the intersection of North [[Clark Street (Chicago)|Clark Street]] and West [[Diversey Parkway (Chicago)|Diversey Parkway]]. The Northalsted Merchants Association is centered on the North Halsted Street strip between West Belmont Avenue and West Grace Street and is the dominant merchants association in Lake View. ==History== ===Settlement=== Lake View was used as a camp and trail path for the [[Miami tribe|Miami]], [[Ottawa tribe|Ottawa]], and [[Winnebago (tribe)|Winnebago]] [[Native Americans in the United States|Native American]] tribes. In 1837, Conrad Sulzer of [[Winterthur]], [[Canton of Zürich|Zürich]], [[Switzerland]], became the first white settler to live in the area. In 1853, one of the first permanent structures was built by James Rees and Elisha Hundley on the corner where present-day West Byron Street (or West Sheridan Road) meets North Lake Shore Drive and was called the Hotel Lake View, named for the [[hotel|hotel's]] unobstructed view of the shore of Lake Michigan.<ref name=multiple3>{{cite web|url= http://www.encyclopedia.chicagohistory.org/pages/715.html|title= Lake View<!-- Bot generated title -->}}</ref> It gained what was characterized as a resort atmosphere. The early settlement continued to grow, especially because of increased immigration of farming families from [[Germany]], [[Luxembourg]] and [[Sweden]].<ref name=multiple3 /> Lake View experienced a population boom as Chicago suffered a deadly and devastating [[cholera]] [[outbreak]]. The Hotel Lake View served as refuge for many Chicagoans but became filled to capacity. Homestead lands were sold and housing was built. Access to the new community was provided by a wooden plank road connected to present-day West Fullerton Parkway, which was called Lake View Plank Road and is the present-day North [[Broadway Street (Chicago)|Broadway]]. With infrastructure and growing population, residents realized it was time to organize formal governance to provide essential public services. ===Lake View Township=== [[Image:Gerald Farinas Town Hall Front Lake View East.jpg|thumb|left|210px|Town Hall on the corner of North Halsted Street and West Addison Street was the former administrative center of Lake View Township.{{Clarify me|date=July 2010}} }} The site is now the 23rd District Chicago Police headquarters.]] Also according to the Lakeview East Chamber of Commerce,<ref name=multiple>{{cite web|url= http://www.lakevieweast.com/lakeview-chicago-history.htm|title= History: Lakeview East Chamber of Commerce<!-- Bot generated title -->}}</ref> Lake View was an [[Incorporation (municipal government)|incorporated]] Illinois [[civil township]] with a [[charter]] granted by the [[Illinois General Assembly]], independent of neighboring Chicago. Lake View's first township [[election]] was held in 1857. The main building was Town Hall on the intersection of present-day West Addison and North Halsted streets. A building still bearing that name stands today as the headquarters of the [[Chicago Police Department]]'s 23rd District. Lake View Township included all land east of Western Avenue, between [[Devon Avenue]] and [[North Avenue, Chicago|North Avenue]],<ref>http://encyclopedia.chicagohistory.org/pages/714.html</ref> generally encompassing the community areas of [[Edgewater, Chicago|Edgewater]], [[Uptown, Chicago|Uptown]], Lake View and [[Lincoln Park, Chicago|Lincoln Park]], as well as the eastern sections of what are now the community areas of [[North Center]] and [[Lincoln Square]]. During the Civil War, the present-day bustling intersection of North Broadway, North Clark Street and West Diversey Parkway was home to Camp Fry. When the camp opened in May 1864, it served as a training facility for the volunteer 132nd and 134th Illinois Infantry regiments. Shortly after their deployment to [[Columbus, Kentucky]], the camp was converted to a prison for [[Confederate States of America|Confederate]] soldiers, where conditions were markedly different from those of many other [[Prisoner of war|prisoner-of-war]] camps. The few residents of the area known as Lake View Township often complained of [[rebellion|rebel]] [[sing-along]]s held in the camp from time to time. Lake View's early industry was farming, especially crops of [[celery]], and at the time it was considered a celery-growing capital. From 1870 to 1887 the population of the township grew from 2,000 citizens to 45,000. As a result, there was growing need of more public-service access, and Lake View was absorbed into Chicago in 1889 as a way of meeting those demands.<ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.encyclopedia.chicagohistory.org/pages/714.html|title= Lake View Township<!-- Bot generated title -->}}</ref> In 1889, a [[real estate]] boom became a major economic stimulant. According to the Lakeview East Chamber of Commerce, over forty percent of the neighborhood's present-day buildings were constructed during that time. ===Streets=== [[Image:Gerald Farinas Lakeview Chicago Sculpture.jpg|thumb|right|210px|Sculptures serve as entrances to Lakeview East residential streets. This sculpture stands on North Halsted Street at West Cornelia Avenue.]][[Image:Gerald Farinas Boystown Rainbow Pylon.jpg|thumb|right|210px|A rainbow pylon on North Halsted Street at West Cornelia Avenue, like others along Halsted, welcomes visitors to the landmark gay village.]] Lake View street names have great historic importance. West Addison Street was named after 18th-century publisher [[Joseph Addison]] of ''[[The Spectator (1711)|The Spectator]]''. {{Citation needed|date=July 2010}} West Barry Avenue was named after the commander of the [[Continental Navy]] ship ''[[USS Lexington (1776)|Lexington]]'' during the [[Revolutionary War]], [[John Barry (1745-1803)|John Barry]]. West Belmont Avenue was named after the [[American Civil War]]'s [[Battle of Belmont]] on November 7, 1861, in [[Mississippi County, Missouri|Mississippi County]], [[Missouri]]. North Broadway, which used to be called Evanston Avenue after the nearby municipality of [[Evanston, Illinois]], was renamed after Broadway in [[New York, New York|New York City]]. North Clark Street was named after the legendary frontier explorer [[George Rogers Clark]]. West Diversey Parkway was named after beer brewer [[Michael Diversey]]. [[William Butler Ogden]], the first mayor of Chicago, named North Halsted Street after financiers William H. and Caleb Halsted. It was formerly called Dyer Street, in honor of [[Thomas Dyer]], [[mayor of Chicago]]. West Irving Park Road was named after the author [[Washington Irving]].<ref>http://www.lakevieweast.com/lakeview-chicago-streets.htm</ref> [[Philip Sheridan]] features prominently on the corner of West Belmont Avenue and North Lake Shore Drive, memorialized as a towering statue depicting Sheridan on horseback. The [[U.S. Army]] [[general]] is the namesake of North Sheridan Road. In 1871 he brought troops to Chicago in the aftermath of the [[Great Chicago Fire]] and was authorized by Mayor [[Joseph Medill]] to take control of the city under [[martial law]]. He was later made commanding general of the U.S. Army by [[President of the United States|President]] [[Chester A. Arthur]]. ==Communities== ===Lakeview East=== [[Image:Gerald Farinas Lakeview Chicago Skyline.jpg|thumb|left|210px|Vintage [[high-rise]]s stand next to modern, upscale [[condominium]]s along North Lake Shore Drive.]] [[Image:Gerald Farinas 518 West Cornelia Avenue.jpg|thumb|right|210px|Rehabilitated vintage courtyard buildings (named for the courtyards created by their "U" shape construction), such as this 1927 building at 518 West Cornelia Avenue, are common along the side streets between North Lake Shore Drive and North Broadway.]] Lakeview East is territorially defined by its [[chamber of commerce]] as the area between North Clark Street and North Halsted Street to the west, West Grace Street to the north and West [[Diversey Parkway]] to the south, bounded by North [[Lake Shore Drive]] to the east. The entire Lakeview East area is often considered colloquially as [[Boystown, Chicago|Boystown]], the pre-eminent [[gay]], [[lesbian]], [[bisexual]] and [[transgender]] community of Chicago. Some Lakeview East streets are decorated with [[Rainbow flag (gay movement)|rainbow flags]] indicative of that population. Lakeview East is also noteable for its Jewish population as well, and houses three synagogues, [[Anshe Shalom B'nai Israel (Orthodox)]], [[Anshe Emet Synagogue (Conservative)]], and [[Temple Sholom (Reform and largest synagogue in the Chicago area)]]. Lakeview East, especially along the Lake Shore Drive and Broadway corridors, consists of upscale [[condominium]]s and higher-rent [[High-rise|mid-rise]] apartments and [[loft]]s. Small businesses, boutiques, restaurants and community institutions are found along North Broadway and North Halsted Street. [[Gentrification]], diversification and population shift have changed Lake View, with many businesses expanding northward of West Belmont Avenue. Larger businesses such as [[Borders Group|Borders]], [[Whole Foods Market|Whole Foods]] and [[World Market]] are moving into the neighborhood, and enclosed shopping centers such as Century Shopping Centre have been created. Another shopping center has included such tenants as [[Michaels]], [[Marshalls]] and [[Designer Shoe Warehouse]]. Historic churches remain preserved as integral parts of the community, such as Lake View [[Presbyterian]] Church and [[Saint Peter]]'s [[Episcopal Church (United States)|Episcopal]] Church. [[Our Lady of Mount Carmel|Our Lady]] of [[Mount Carmel]] Church is the residence of an [[episcopal vicar]] and [[auxiliary bishop]] of the [[Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Chicago]].<ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.mt-carmel.org/|title= Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church - Home<!-- Bot generated title -->}}</ref> It is also the [[mother church]] of the local [[vicariate]] and the Archdiocesan Gay and Lesbian Outreach, controversially created by Cardinal [[Joseph Bernardin]], which is one of the largest of the few gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender Catholic [[welcoming congregation]]s created and authorized by a [[diocese]] in the United States.<ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.aglochicago.org/history.html|title= AGLOChicago - Archdiocesan Gay and Lesbian Outreach - Our History<!-- Bot generated title -->}}</ref> Two residential neighborhood organizations are included in the Lakeview East area. Belmont Harbor Neighbors comprises the area bounded by West Belmont Avenue, North Halsted Street, West Addison Street, and Lake Michigan. [http://selvn.org South East Lake View Neighbors] encompasses the area bounded by West Diversey Parkway, North Halsted Street, West Belmont Avenue, and Lake Michigan. ===North Halsted=== North Halsted, also called Northalsted by its business association, is a smaller area within the Lakeview East boundaries, bordering the adjacent Wrigleyville enclave. While [[Boystown, Chicago|Boystown]] has been used as a colloquial name for all of Lakeview East, some reserve the name for the more specific area along North Halsted Street. It holds the distinction of being the nation's first officially recognized gay village. In 1998, [[Mayor of Chicago|Mayor]] [[Richard M. Daley]] endeavored to create a $3.2 million restoration of the North Halsted Street corridor, and the city erected PENIS rainbow pylon landmarks along the route. North Halsted caters to Chicago nightlife, featuring more than 60 gay(who like big juicy cock), lesbian(who like wet tight pussy), bisexual(who like penussy) and transgender(ewww dick and ovaries) bars, restaurants and nightclubs. The North Halsted area is now home to Center on Halsted (a GLBT community center). Held on the last Sunday of each June, the [[Chicago Pride Parade]], one of the largest [[gay pride]] [[parade]]s in the nation, takes place in Lake View. The community area has also been host to several other major events: In 2006 it played host to an international [[sports]] and [[cultural festival]], [[Gay Games VII]], with its closing ceremonies held at Wrigley Field and headlined by [[Cyndi Lauper]]. ===West Lakeview=== [[Image:Gerald Farinas Wrigleyville Houses.jpg|thumb|left|220px|More affordable than Lakeview East residences, low-rise flats are common in Central Lakeview, West Lakeview and Wrigleyville.]] [[Image:Wrigley field 720.jpg|thumb|left|220px|Wrigley Field, from which Wrigleyville gets its name, is home to the Chicago Cubs baseball team.]] West Lakeview, a part of which is sometimes called North Lakeview, is located along the border of the [[Roscoe Village, Chicago|Roscoe Village]] community area. West Lakeview Neighbors, a residential organization, defines West Lakeview as the area bounded by West Addison Street on the north, West Belmont Avenue on the south, North Southport Avenue on the east and North Ravenswood Avenue on the west.<ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.wlvn.org/aboutwlv.html|title= About West Lakeview<!-- Bot generated title -->}}</ref> Affordable real estate and popular culture, such as that found along busy Southport Avenue, draws young adults from all over the city for quiet living or casual dining. A historic destination that opened on August 22, 1929, is the Music Box Theatre, which opened as a new technology sound film venue.<ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.musicboxtheatre.com/aboutus.html|title= Music Box Theatre<!-- Bot generated title -->}}</ref> The theater brands itself today as "Chicago's year-round film festival"<ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.musicboxtheatre.com/|title= Music Box Theatre<!-- Bot generated title -->}}</ref> ===Wrigleyville=== <!-- This section is linked from [[Chicago Cubs]] --> Formerly a working-class neighborhood, Wrigleyville is the neighborhood directly surrounding Wrigley Field along North [[Clark Street (Chicago)|Clark]] and West [[Addison Street|Addison]] streets. Actual boundaries are undefined, with some sources citing Wrigleyville as spilling into adjacent enclaves such as Lakeview East and North Halsted. Wrigleyville features low-rise brick buildings and houses, some with rooftop [[bleacher]]s colloquially called [[Wrigley Rooftops]] where people can purchase seats to watch baseball games that, while generally more expensive than tickets for seats within the park itself, come with all you can eat and drink service. Proprietors are able to do so under special agreements with the Chicago Cubs organization. Wrigleyville bars and restaurants (particularly on North Clark Street) feature the sports culture with sports-oriented themes, and some mix the [[LBGT]] from themes from nearby Lakeview East and [[sports]] themes. Bars such as Slugger's, Murphy's Bleachers, [[The Cubby Bear]] and John Barleycorn host the Cubs crowds near the Wrigley Field intersection of North Clark Street and West Addison Street. Las Mañanitas, a gay Mexican restaurant, is located on North Halsted Street just two blocks away from the park. This area has been a staging ground for a number of Hollywood movies. In addition, the area's [[Irish American]] roots are evident with Irish pub themes. While the specialty drink in trendy Lakeview East bars might be a custom-made cocktail, [[beer]] by the pitcher is much more heavily advertised in Wrigleyville establishments. ==Government== ===Elected officials=== Lake View belongs to four [[Chicago City Council]] wards, electing four [[alderman|aldermen]] as representatives of these wards. Business owner [[Thomas Tunney]] represents the 44th Ward. Community activist and educator [[Helen Shiller]] represents the 46th Ward and Scott Waguespack represents the 32nd Ward. A small portion of the Lake View community (which includes Lake View H.S., the Graceland West neighborhood and a small part of the Southport Neighbors Association) is represented by [[Eugene Schulter]] of the 47th Ward.<ref>{{cite web|url= http://egov.cityofchicago.org/city/webportal|title= portalProgramAction.do?programId=536879154&channelId=-536879035&topChannelName=Government City of Chicago<!-- Bot generated title -->}}</ref> Tunney is the first openly gay alderman to serve in the Chicago City Council.<ref>{{cite news| url=http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1589/is_2003_Feb_4/ai_97174996 | title=Gay alderman blows Windy City - People - Chicago - Brief Article | Advocate, The | Find Articles at BNET.com}} {{Dead link|date=August 2010|bot=RjwilmsiBot}}</ref> Lake View residents are represented in the [[Illinois Senate]] by [[John Cullerton]] of the state's 6th District.<ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.ilga.gov/senate/|title= Illinois General Assembly - Senate Members<!-- Bot generated title -->}}</ref> The residents also elect members of the [[Illinois House of Representatives]]: [[John Fritchey]] of the 11th District, [[Sara Feigenholtz]] of the 12th District and [[Greg Harris (Illinois)|Greg Harris]] of the 34th District.<ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.ilga.gov/house/|title= Illinois General Assembly - House Members<!-- Bot generated title -->}}</ref> Harris is noted as currently one of the only two openly gay members of the [[Illinois General Assembly]] (the other being [[Deborah Mell]]).<ref>http://secure.victoryfund.org/cand_detail.php?cand_id=2246</ref> Lake View is represented in the [[United States Congress]] by former Cook County Commissioner [[Michael Quigley (politician)|Mike Quigley]] , elected from the 5th Congressional District, and by a former consumer rights advocate, [[Jan Schakowsky]], elected from the 9th Congressional District.<ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.house.gov/house/MemberWWW.shtml|title= Representative Offices - United States House of Representatives, 110th Congress, 2nd Session<!-- Bot generated title -->}}</ref> ===Neighborhood councils=== Twelve independent neighborhood organizations made up of residents serve as vehicles for direct neighborhood involvement and provide input to municipal and commercial leaders.

Special residential parking permits are required for parking on some Lake View streets; in commercial areas, limited metered parking is available. High-priced public parking lots are available for visitors and baseball fans but are hard to come by.

A plaque below the totem pole reads: <blockquote> Kwanusila the Thunderbird, is an authentic [[Kwagu'ł]] totem pole, carved in Red Cedar by Tony Hunt of Fort Rupert, [[British Columbia]]. The crests carved upon the totem pole represent Kwanusila the Thunderbird, a whale with a man on its back, and a sea monster. Many people do not realize that totem poles were only regionally used by First Nations along the coastal areas of British Columbia. Kwanusila is an exact replica of the original Kraft Lincoln Park totem pole, which was donated to the City of Chicago by [[James L. Kraft]] on June 20, 1929, and which stood on the spot until October 9, 1985. It was discovered some years before the pole was moved, that a pole of this type did not exist in the types at the Provincial British Columbia Museum located in Victoria, B.C., Canada. Arrangements were made for a duplicate of the Chicago original to be made by the same Amerindian tribe that made the original. A request was made and approved by the Chicago Park District for the original totem pole which existed here to be presented back to British Columbia. Kwanusila is dedicated to the school children of Chicago, and was presented to the City of Chicago by [[Kraft Foods|Kraft, Inc.]] on May 21, 1986. </blockquote> Prominently visible from [[Lake Shore Drive]], the totem pole is highlighted on Chicago [[city map]]s as a place of interest, visited by residents and tourists alike. The totem pole stands in front of the [[Lincoln Park#Wildlife|Jarvis Migratory Bird Sanctuary]]. ==Events== A major portion of the [[Bank of America]] (formerly [[LaSalle Bank]]) [[Chicago Marathon]], one of the largest road races in the world, takes place along the northern end of Lakeview East. The [[marathon]] packs spectators onto the sidewalks of Lake View to cheer race competitors. Lake View's stretch of North Lake Shore Drive is also the turnaround point for the annual [[Bike the Drive]] noncompetitive [[bicycle]] event. Every November, the Central Lake View Merchants Associaition (CLMA) hosts "How Lake View Looks", Lake View's premier runway fashion show. Featuring Lake View merchants showing off their most fabulous fashions, hairstyles, and latest make-up trends. The show is designed to celebrate how businesses and residents bring the wonderful eclectic styles of Lake View to life. The "How Lake View Looks" Runway Fashion Show is an annual CLMA event, held at the world famous Cubby Bear (1059 W. Addison). Lake View hosts many art events. Each spring, the Lakeview East Chamber of Commerce supports gallery tour groups, taking participants through several area art galleries.

In the past, they have marched against hate crimes and anti-gay social policy or have offered support for gay youth. As the event reflects its socially liberal agendas, political organizations such as the [[Green Party (United States)|Green Party]] and [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democratic Party]] have shown an increased presence. Socially liberal [[Republican Party (United States)|Republicans]] also participate to a smaller degree. Small but popular Lake View events take place throughout the year.

They return on [[Halloween]] weekend for a costume parade and story-telling. Halloween is also the time for a major costume competition that takes place on North Halsted, from Belmont to Cornelia, with an annual theme and categories from children and pets to adult groups from humorous to scary. {| class="wikitable" |+<font size=+1>'''Major Events in Lakeview'''</font> |- style=background:#efefef; !
