Two New Upscale Boutiques in Bucktown

The hip just keep hipper.

Bucktown is getting not one but two new upscale clothing stores this summer. California based Joe's Jeans Inc will open a 1890 sq. ft. storefront at 1715 N Damen avenue in August. Just down the street, New York based clothier Intermix just leased a 2350 sq. ft. storefront at 1633 N Damen ave.

It would seem that this further cements the reputation of Bucktown--a drug and gang infested neighborhood just 15 years ago--as being the boutique capital of world...or at least Chicago.
