Joyous Cubs Fans Flood Wicker Park's Main Intersection After Historic Win

WICKER PARK — Fans poured out of the bars and took to the streets in Wicker Park after the Cubs won the World Series late Wednesday.

There were high-fives, strangers embracing, cars honking, flags waving and a fair amount of fireworks in the 1500 block of North Milwaukee Avenue.

Here are a few highlights.
