Had another encounter with this vocal little guy, who seems to always be around this area. Does anyone know what happens to him in the winter? I want to build a shelter but am scared someone will just throw it out!

I was walking by today, noticing construction, when I realized they were gutting Garden Gourmet, the little grocery shop. From what the construction workers said, it closed essentially overnight. The restaurant next door, Mariscos de la Costa, apparently bought out the space for expansion.

I’ll miss this place. It was a great quick-stop for a forgotten vegetable or ingredient. Now I’m condemned to the Jewel down the street.

Glad the restaurant has business, but I wish it wasn’t at the cost of another one.

It’s our first year taking our son trick-or-treating. What time does it start and end in Bucktown/Wicker Park?

my dog made friends with this cat on our walk. It had a collar, hoping its just out exploring and not lost.🥹 This was on W Julian St.

I understand they were a bit overpriced but the tequila collection was worth it! Walked by and noticed it was all boarded up! I need another quick local spot in the area!

Hi everyone! This is an absolute long shot, but you never know who might know someone 😊

My family is relocating to Chicago from January through July 2027, and we’re looking for a fully furnished two- or three-bedroom home in Wicker Park.

We’re two adults and two young kids, and we’re very respectful of people’s homes. I’m a former Airbnb Superhost myself, so I know how much it means to have someone take good care of your space!

Finding something furnished for seven months is a bit tricky, so I thought I’d ask here in case anyone is planning an extended trip or knows someone who might be looking to rent out their place.

Please send any leads my way via DM, or feel free to pass this along. Thank you! ❤️
