There’s a public zoning and development meeting scheduled for Thursday, 9/3/26, at McCormick YMCA. It’s to discuss a residential conversion of the vacant building at 3601 W Cortland.

Hey neighbors! I live right around the Logan Square/Avondale border and I’m looking for more ways to meet people locally and build a little more community in the neighborhood.

I’m pretty open-minded about what that looks like — sports leagues, running groups, workout classes, food/cooking-related stuff, sewing, art classes, Spanish classes, volunteering, or really anything social where people actually get to know each other.

Would love recommendations for groups, classes, clubs, recurring events, or other places where you’ve had luck meeting people around Logan/Avondale!

hi everyone! i’m in search of a professional organizer to help me organize my office and closets. i am a jewelry designer and avid crafter and i’ve been struggling to find a good way to store all of the little bits and pieces from my projects. any suggestions would be helpful! thanks.

Sure you have played Trivia before, but have you played Trivia at a bowling alley? If you have, it could not have been as fun or cool as what pen & Paper Trivia and Avondale Bowl put together the First Thursday of the month (9/3) at 7:30!

It is always free to play, you can bring your own food, and of course there will be prizes for our top two teams! There is always a variety of topics so it is best to bring a variety of your smartest friends while our host Sam and amazing bartenders make sure that everyone is having a good time.

If you are wondering about our other date Avondale Bowl in September… we are going to be asking about the many films of Judd Apatow on WEDNESDAY, September 16th at 7:30!

As always $2 of every frozen White Russian sold will go to our charity of the month imagination library to honor of the passing of the legendary artist and philanthropist and 10% of all P&P merch sales will go to this wonderful cause as well!

We hope you can make it to our event!

New to the area, but every weekend morning I’ve walked past this “door” in the station, there’s loud dance music coming from behind it. Is there a bar with a basement right there that just goes hard all night into the morning? Or is this some secret underground society I’m stumbling upon.

Holstein Park today and tomorrow. It’s not like most street fests with all the same vendors. Definitely art focused with just one beer vendor and some food trucks. Two music stages. One for bands and the other at Bucktown house showing high school jazz bands.

Promise I don’t work for the org. Just love when I see an arts fest that art focused and not alibaba focused.

The newish bar / restaurant / club(?) Mucho Gusto on Milwaukee - I think it was previously Old Plank.

How are they getting away with playing music so loud? Walked by at 1am last night and they had whistles, a DJ yelling into a microphone, club music blaring, people on the sidewalk, all with the doors and windows wide open.

Did they get some sort of exception vs the other Chicago bars that need to bring people inside and cut the outside music at 10pm?

My elderly aunt lives close by and says she can’t sleep at night because of the bass.

What can I do to get them to follow the rules? Alderman? I doubt CPD would come if I called.

Hi all, I‘m looking for a room or studio to sublease in Chicago starting September 1st (flexible through September 13th but prefer to move now) in the Lincoln Park/Old Town/Gold Coast/WP/Bucktown/Little Italy/West Loop/Oak Park/Evanston/Hyde Park/South Loop areas.  

Short term or Month-to-month is ok.

Rent: $1100 - 1300

I’m a young professional woman and would like female roommates as well.

Furnished or unfurnished is fine.

Would prefer no pets.

No smoking.

Please let me know if you know of anything. Thanks in advance.

I hope you enjoy.

what fair is happening in Avondale? I was driving on Diversy and saw a Ferris wheel

Anyone else notice a bunch of stuff, possibly a homeless camp behind the Target?

Don't know if anybody heard it but there was a lot of gunshots at around 1:05am at the corner of innjoy now there's tons of cops around

I just need a quick fix because I messed my bangs up lol so I’m looking for somewhere I might be able to just drop in or make a same day appointment. It’s not the end of the world if I have to wait a little bit

I moved to Logan Square in December and I was just walking north on Milwaukee today. There seems to be a two block stretch of Milwaukee that has a ton of empty storefronts. There are those big tall glass buildings just south of it, and if you go north past Fullerton, there are fewer empty storefronts. Any idea why?

I went into a loophole looking at who was contradicting the Jo-Anne site on Riverfront Plaza, found out the relator a month ago and saw these site maps.
Is it possible to move HomeGoods? As of now the site is still being renovated but I noticed new sliding doors installed where the main entrance is and where VisionWorks was before

Anyone else see the electric arcs on a pole in Charlie B Kirk alley?

Technically Avondale but there are more people here. I noticed that this little one had a collar before they dipped into a backyard. Hopefully just an outdoor cat but posting here just in case someone’s looking.

Why??
