- Division_Street abstract "Division Street is a major east-west street in Chicago, Illinois, located at 1200 North (one and a half miles north of Madison Street). Division Street begins in the Gold Coast neighborhood near Lake Shore Drive, passes through Polonia Triangle at Milwaukee Avenue into Wicker Park and continues to Chicago's city limits and into the city's western suburbs. Once known as \"Polish Broadway\" during the heyday of Polish Downtown, Division Street was the favorite street of author Nelson Algren. A fountain dedicated in his name was installed in what had been the area that figured as the inspiration for much of his work.Division Street serves as one of Chicago's main club strips, with hip bars and clubs lining much of the street from Lake Michigan west to Clark Street. The clubs are developing further west toward the north branch of the Chicago River. The center of activity of this stretch is located between State Street and Dearborn Street. It is combined with the upscale nightlife scene along Rush Street (a diagonal road leading northwest out of downtown Chicago) several blocks to the south. The area serves as central Chicago's second major nightlife hub, second only to the River North entertainment district, located north of the Chicago River, and west of the famed Michigan Avenue shopping district. The area's bars and clubs stay open very late, with most closing 4 o'clock or 5 o'clock in the morning. The street is usually very crowded and busy, and after 3 AM, Chicago police usually block off the street to vehicular traffic due to the heavy pedestrian presence. Further to the west, Division serves areas of the city that are not as economically vibrant, including for many years the Cabrini-Green public housing development, continuing a pattern of social class division noted by author Studs Terkel in his book, Division Street: America. Division Street has a Red Line stop at Clark/Division. Division Street is also served by the Division/Milwaukee stop on the Blue Line at Polonia Triangle.On the north side of this street, two doors to the east of Dearborn Street, is the bar called \"Mother's\" which gained some prominence as a result of the 1986 film, About Last Night.... The film was based on the 1974 play, Sexual Perversity in Chicago, by David Mamet, which was set in the subculture to be found in the intersecting Rush Street and Division Street bars, at the time. It focused on a group of characters who frequented the bar in question, portraying the corrosive effects of the subculture on relations within it.The exterior shots were of the real bar, though the interior shots were done elsewhere. Mother's is located in a basement, with many support pillars through its unusually-shaped space, due to the proximity of the tunnel for the Red Line train and its air intake shafts.Farther west, around Damen Avenue (2000 W), are a number of upscale restaurants, shops, and bars. These are popular in the gentrifying neighborhoods of Wicker Park, East Village, Ukrainian Village and Pulaski Park. This neighborhood figured prominently in the 1977 film, Looking for Mr. Goodbar.Paseo Boricua (loosely translated as \"Boricua Promenade\") is located further along Division Street between Western Avenue and California Avenue, in the neighborhood of Humboldt Park. The strip is flanked on both sides by 59-foot-tall (18 m) Puerto Rican flags made of steel. Dedicated to Puerto Rican pride, this part of the street includes a \"walk of fame\", with the names of many outstanding Puerto Ricans. Paseo Boricua is the political and cultural capital of the Puerto Rican community in the Midwest and, some say, in the Puerto Rican Diaspora.The Horween Leather Company, founded as I. Horween and Co. in 1905, was originally located on Division Street. The company moved in 1927 to North Elston Avenue.".
