"Uptown doesn't deserve that [negative connotation]. It may be a little bare bones in places, but it is a great colorful place," Frost said. "Walk 10 minutes from Lakeview, Andersonville or Lincoln Square and you are there. The Wilson station renovation will help unite these neighborhoods on the North Side. Instead of people pretending like they aren't next to Uptown, maybe it will one day soon be a proud selling point."
