What to expect

1
Logan Square

Come and see one of Chicago's coolest (in my opinion the best) and most vibrant neighborhoods. Logan Square has a food, nightlife, shopping, music, and entertainment scene second to none. Learn what is was like 100 plus years ago until now. Who first lived in Logan Square? Why is it called Logan Square? Why is there a huge stone monument here that looks like it should be in Greece? Lean some history while taking in the vibe of Chicago, the real Chicago outside of downtown. See the architecture and hear the stories of the city. Did you know the Cubs and Sox were not the only game in town at one point? Did you know the train line ended in Logan Square? Did you know Hollywood filmed movies here? Learn about all of this and more from a local who lives, eats, and wears Logan Square (and Chicago) on his back (that's me). Look for the guy with the spikey hair by the monument. See you all there!
