The information display is handy if you've forgotten your smartphone (or low battery). Nice to get ETA status of the next two trains, weather and time.
Make sure to lock your bikes real good. The area in front of the station is high traffic and prone to bike theft.
Chicago TribuneOctober 5, 2011When the sun is rising in the east, this is a great vantage point to snap a photo of the skyline. Just don't make too big of a deal about it - security keeps a close eye on shutterbugs. Read more
If you're into existential conversations, show up between 2:15 and 3:30 in the morning...these hipsters are fucking deep.
Kyle OldfieldNovember 6, 2011One of the more beautiful 'L' stations! Be sure to take time to check it out.
They now have Security Cameras at ever turn and on every level (look for them when you walk up the stairs)
Heather KristinOctober 11, 2011Hilarious; all the people leaving drink tips on here - this is a CTA stop. Blueline Club Car, a martini lounge, resides near its entrance/exit. Geez.
Stop leaving tips about blue line club car bar and grill... #this is the actual damen blue line train station smh
Vanessa R.September 10, 2011Highly suggest taking the blue line from wicker park bars to home, it runs 24hrs and is safer than a DUI. Get home safe everyone!- The hipsters are a gentle people, not prone to violence or simple food...
walk up the road on damen and check out JOE'S JEANS! you wont regret it.
angela whitbyMarch 24, 2010Westbound be in the first car - there's a small exit all the way at the west end of the platform. If you're walking that way it saves a block.
Heated lamps help in the morning. Great place to exchange words and experiences.
StreetWise_CHIAugust 22, 2012We don't have vendors near Wicker Park, but that doesn't mean we don't want your support!
When you enter the station don't let the old rickety entrance doors swing into the person behind you...not cool.
Watch out for the loonies that loiter around the entrance
Lukas ZajacSeptember 24, 2010Awesome place, Dave thanks a lot for super fun sexy timez, greetings from Washington DC
Jake DunningtonNovember 14, 2010Don't stand on the track when the train comes. You will surely die. Your welcome
Listen carefully. The announcer sounds the same when he says outbound/downtown
- Don't eat Flash Taco when you're sober...your taste buds will be sadly disappointed.
