[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is grittier than Bethesda.
I would argue it is farther from Chicago than “downtown” Bethesda is to DC.[/quote]

This. We visited NU last summer and took the train from Chicago. Yes, it was the weekend but we had to change once and it took a long time. Definitely not Bethesda to Downtown DC---that is a much shorter commute. It is not that connected. More like Baltimore to DC. Though Baltimore and Evanston are very different.[/quote]

No, you just don't fully understand Chicago yet, I think.  It's more distributed and the cultural parts  The loop is the business district and is kind of boring--though some improvements along the lake shore. The museums etc. are mainly on the nearish south lakeshore part and are spread out and create a bit of culture.  But a lot of the  venues, restaurants, nightlife, boutiques, galleries, small museums etc. are on the north side and blend into the south part of Evanston. The Sheridan bus is a straighter route to that part and you can get a better sense of the connection.[/quote]
