Rogers Park is a neighborhood on the North Side of Chicago, Illinois and one of the city's 77 municipally recognized community areas. Located 9 miles (14 km) north of the Loop along the shore of Lake Michigan, it features green spaces, early 20th-century architecture, live theater, bars, restaurants, and beaches. Rogers Park is known for its racial and cultural diversity: according to the Chicago Sun-Times, it is the neigborhood that most closely matches the city's ethnic makeup as a whole.^[2]

The neighborhood is bounded by the city of Evanston along Juneway Terrace and Howard Street to the north, Ridge Boulevard to the west, Devon Avenue and the Edgewater neighborhood to the south, and Lake Michigan to the east. West Ridge, just to the west, was part of Rogers Park until the 1890s and is still sometimes referred to as "West Rogers Park." In the early 1900s, what is today the main campus of Loyola University Chicago was established at the neighborhood's southeastern end, along the lake.
