DePaul University's Lincoln Park campus sits in the western part of the neighbourhood, anchoring the area around Fullerton, Belden, and Racine with a student population that keeps the surrounding blocks active with cafés, bookstores, and affordable restaurants. The campus itself — a compact mix of late 19th-century and mid-20th-century buildings — is worth walking through.
The adjacent Biograph Theater on North Lincoln Avenue is where John Dillinger was shot by FBI agents in 1934, after attending a film; it is now a live theatre venue (Victory Gardens Theater) and the marquee is maintained to reflect its historical role. Metro (L) Fullerton stop on the Red/Brown/Purple Lines.
