lets hear it for logan's most terminally online redditor

I had a housewarming in January and picked up Lawrence Fish Market sashimi (and it was outstanding and a good value). I’m debating going back there but I’d like other options for lunch. Any recommendations?

Trying to spend $200-300 for say 15 people ideally not too far from Logan Square.

inspired by u/flippingsenton, and now automated:

Talk about the goings-on in the neighborhood that you don't feel like making a new post about. Debate the merits of [over/under]rated taco place. Where's the best coffee? What shows are going on this week? Make friends! Just be kind and courteous.

does anyone know how to fucking open that dumb thing? I swear i got it half open once but every single fucking time i go in there there is a line of 20 people and i am wrestling and failing with this stupid ass package drop bin for a full 60 seconds of shame while everyone stares at me and wonders if i passed the second grade

morning update: bin didnt budge but i did pass the line while everyone stared at me and threw my package into a gigantic cardboard box behind the counter 🫡 we did it boys

Trash accumulates quickly on my block (1900 Mozart). I wfh so I often take trash cleanup breaks to clear my head. I fill up a grocery bag of trash 3 - 4 times a week. While I wish this wasn't the case, it's worth it if it makes my block cleaner and frankly I have met a lot of neighbors this way over the years.

I am okay taking ownership of my block, however, I'm searching for a way to get neighbors to pitch in. Have you found any ways to curb pollution or more likely organize clean up efforts? My initial thought is to leave business cards / flyers to a 4 by 4 block radius telling people to contact me if they are interested in taking responsibility for their block and I will connect them with anyone else on their block who is also interested so they can split efforts. I'm aware flyers or business cards will leave behind more debris at least for that week.

There was a similar thread about this a couple weeks ago. This isn't to shame, I'm genuinely seeking advice and want to hear what has worked for you. Lastly, before people mention this is a city and that's just a part of normal life, you are wrong. Aside from 4 years away at college (go Hawks) I've lived in the city my whole life in a bunch of neighborhoods and trash accumulates where people tolerate it.

People speed down Palmer without stopping at signs or for pedestrians all day everyday, seems like speed cameras would be a no brainer here especially with the school right there and the popularity of the park. I guess La Spata is just going to wait till they’re scraping a little kid off Palmer and Whipple before he announces a 3yr long community input period for speed cameras before he announces that they disproportionately impact people of color

i need one piece of wood cut and don’t really wanna pay to get it done bc i’m poor! anyone know who will
do it for free or help me? preferably a kind stranger not someone who will kill me 😀

Saw two people looking a bit strung out wandering Milwaukee by the 7-11 this morning, one turned around after passing me to follow me, then started talking to a mom and her two young kids and was following them before mom went into a coffee shop.
Posting for safety awareness, not a reason to complain about people in the neighborhood.

I recently did a round of egg freezing and have leftover meds. I would love to donate to a neighbor! Below is a list of what i have. DM me :)

4 boxes of menopur 75 IU
Each box has…
-5 single dose vials of menotropins for injection
-5 single dose vials of 0.9% sodium chloride injection, usp, 2 mL
-5 Q-cap vial adapters

1 leuprolide acetate injection 14 mg/2.8 mL

8 tablets of cabergoline 0.5 mg

Edit: Love these heartwarming responses! Everything has been claimed :) Good luck to everybody on their journey!

Is the graffiti on their windows intentional like it is for switchyards’ glass doors or have they just not removed it?

Maybe police chopper? Flying tight loops over, like, Milwaukee and Talman? I think it has a spotlight

Sorry if it’s been asked already, I did a search and didn’t see anything.

We’ve been going to Emporium but wondering about which other bars or establishments in the area have pool tables! Gimme em all

This is that open retail spot with no flooring at Wrightwood and Lawndale (3658 W Wrightwood), next to Sparrow Salon and Spa. I think it was briefly posted about here before, but the info was coming from the real estate/restaurant group, so nobody really knew what was going in besides just the open consumption part:

>*From the latest 35th Ward newsletter:

>Request to Lift Liquor Moratorium for New Taproom at 3658 W Wrightwood

>The 35th Ward Office has received a request to lift the moratorium on new consumption on-premises liquor licenses on West Wrightwood Avenue between Central Park Avenue and Lawndale Avenue.

>Brutalist Brewing, Chicago’s first co-operatively owned brewery, is seeking to lift the moratorium to establish a new taproom at 3658 W Wrightwood Ave.

>Brutalist will be at the Beat 2524 CAPS meeting Thursday, August 20 at 6:30 PM at Kosciuszko Park (2732 N Avers) to introduce themselves and answer questions from neighbors.

>The Ward will accept feedback through Friday, September 5 at 5 PM, and then the Alderman will determine whether to introduce an ordinance to lift the moratorium in the City Council based on the feedback we receive.*

They currently brew out of the Pilot Project Brewing on Milwaukee Ave.
