<p>Evanston is in fine company. I travel to Ashland, Oregon every year for the Shakespeare Festival. They have an outdoor Globe replica and the performances are world class, occurring from February to October-essentially year around.</p>

<p>^People in Los Angeles love to go to Santa Monica because it’s one of the very few areas that are pedestrian friendly over there, making it more happening (“urban”) than all other places in Los Angeles.</p>

<p>I have been to Evanston twice and though my visits were brief, I REALLY liked this city.</p>

<p>It really is supremely walkable and has a nice vibe. Lots of stuff to do whenever you want to do it, with some good restaurants close at hand.</p>
