Uptown is one of the most unique and interesting spots in Chicagoland. This large area — which includes Buena Park, Sheridan Park, and much of Andersonville — is home to countless restaurants, great shopping, and some of the most eclectic architecture you'll find in the city. Planning to pay a visit to Uptown and Andersonville? There are enough things to see, do, and experience to last you a lifetime. Here are 10 bucket list destinations you can't miss:

What could be better on a warm spring day then stepping outside and enjoying the view from your balcony? Whether you want to savor the sunrise with a cup of coffee, wind down after a long day at work, or throw the party of the month, there's no place like a Chicagoland balcony, terrace, or patio to make the outdoors truly feel like home. And whether you live in a high rise, a two-flat, or a single family home, we're heading for prime outdoor living season. The spring and summer months are the perfect chance to really enjoy your home's most open and airy spaces.

Before your next spring soiree or afternoon siesta, you'll want to unpack your patio furniture, hang your hammock, and take on a few simple chores to make sure your outdoor space is clean and ready to use.
