Having lived on Clark literally across from the Lincoln Park Zoo, it occurs to me that there are no apartments "across the street" because that would be Lincoln Park. Perhaps if you lived on the side street side of a building, you'd have someone across that, but not facing the lake. Or even in the same building, as some are old and have old school layouts. Hate to say it but this distracted me for the whole story :)
The apartment wasn't on Clark, but close. On a cul-de-sac that did have other buildings across the street, and a cut-through to Clark and the park ;)
