After an early breakfast at Lula’s, Liz and I headed down Milwaukee to visit the Logan Square Kitchen. Though I’ve been in Logan Square a while, I hadn’t actually heard of LSK until fairly recently: it’s a commercial kitchen, available for rent on an hourly basis. But it also is a space for hosting events…
With Liz and I moving at the end of the month, the end of our lease at the current apartment overlaps with the lease at the new apartment by a month. Our Apartment Management company is trying to find someone to move in in April, and I figured it wouldn’t hurt to also post up…
Our apartment management company recently asked us for a lease renewal fairly early this year (due by February for a May 1 lease). While we didn’t have any problems with renewing… given the early nature of the request, we decided to just go out and see what else was available. We called one apartment and…
On the way to work Friday morning, I happend by a sign in the door of a building. This was one of those full-glass doors, with a solid black bar across the middle. It was the entryway to a residential set of apartments, and opened to a narrow corridory, with some stairs up. Usually, signs…
Around 3:00 PM, as I was sitting at my computer, I heard a pretty loud *crunch* from outside. The sound was akin to what a tree would sound like, after it’s been hit by a car going at around 5 or 10 mph. It was a healthy crunch. Liz was in our office at the…
On my way home, I got stopped right at Logan Boulevard. A sea of bicycles went by, stopping traffic from all directions. Luckily I got my camera out, and shot a few minutes of everyone biking by. There were a lot of folks yelling out “Happy Friday” to everyone, and lots of smiling and waving….
On the way to work, I stopped to check out a little bit of the damage from last night’s storm. There wasn’t a ton of stuff near us (I heard Wicker Park and North Ave got it bad). In talking with Liz, she recalled that huge storm from last year. Comparing the two, she said…
Liz and I met Josh outside the local Starbucks on California and Logan. As we were walking in, I saw his fantastic bike parked up against the fence. On our way out… I saw him standing nearby, smoking a cigarette. I ended up walking by, stopped, turned around, and talked to him a bit about…
On the way to work this morning, I saw the blue balloon again. Today, it looks a bit worse for wear, after having survived a pretty heavy downfall of snow the past day or two. On seeing it this morning, I was reminded of a black balloon I saw back in Wicker Park (and a…
We got hit with a ton of snow yesterday, which lasted through the entire night. This morning, on the way to work… I stopped to take a few photos en route. I don’t think the snowfall amount was a record breaker, but it was definitely the most we’ve had so far this year. Outside my…
Chris mentioned this show to me a few days back, but I waffled and wasn’t intending on going. Today, I got a last-minute invite (turns out he had an extra ticket, thanks to Leslie), and I was debating all morning whether or not to go. I went against my usual, homebody nature… and went with…
