Division Street (Paseo Boricua), facing east from Mozart Street, one-half block west of California Avenue.
Paseo Boricua[1] (loosely translated as "Boricua (Puerto Rican) Promenade") is a section of Division Street in the Humboldt Park community of the West Side of Chicago, Illinois.
It is located on Division Street, which is between Western and California avenues, in the neighborhood of Humboldt Park, more commonly known as 'Little Puerto Rico.' Paseo Boricua is a microcosm of the Puerto Rican community.[2][3]
This section is flanked at each end by a public art project installed in 1995; fifty-nine-foot-tall (18-metre) Puerto Rican flags made of steel, gateways to Paseo Boricua.[4] This street is dedicated to Puerto Rican pride and has a walk of fame with the names of many outstanding Puerto Ricans. Many businesses are named after Puerto Rican towns. The façades of some buildings have been designed to look as if they come from old San Juan with Spanish Colonial architecture.
The Humboldt Park Paseo Boricua neighborhood is the flagship of all Puerto Rican enclaves. This neighborhood is the economic, political, and cultural capital of the Puerto Rican community in the Midwest.
