West Ridge, Chinatown, Downtown Skokie, & Lincoln Square

I have visited all of these neighborhoods many times already, which is why they are combined into one post and each have only short descriptions rather than extensive impressions.
As always, West Ridge was very nice. I still feel, however, that Western Avenue needs to become more pedestrian friendly, with less auto oriented businesses. The area also contains many Desis, especially along Devon Avenue, where the city's "Little India" is located. The area around the corner of  Western & Lunt contains some walk up apartments, one story commercial buildings fronting Western Avenue, and many urban houses.
Chicago's Chinatown is quite large, and both the "New Chinatown" and "Old Chinatown" areas are nice. However, the commercial portions of New Chinatown all face inner pedestrian passages instead of the street, and front the street with parking instead, which must be fixed.
Downtown Skokie has had lots of new investment recently, leading to an interesting mix of pre-WWII shops and apartments, as well as 21st century mixed use developments. Many businesses had Russian signs outside, and the area is quite diverse.
Lincoln Square is a pleasant neighborhood and community area on Chicago's North Side, centered on the eponymous square. The neighborhood hosts many old-timers, as well as newer residents. Historically German, Lincoln Square is now home to people of many cultures.
