The boulevards
Logan and Kedzie Boulevards, lined with elms and some of the city's grandest greystones. Best walked on an autumn Sunday.
I am Logan Square.
A guide to Chicago's boulevard neighborhood, written by the people who live on it. Where to eat, what's on, and who's behind the door.
Built around a boulevard, kept by its neighbors.
Logan Square sits on Chicago's Northwest Side, where Logan Boulevard, Kedzie Boulevard and Milwaukee Avenue meet at the Illinois Centennial Monument. The wide, tree-lined boulevards are part of a historic system that links the city's parks.
Greystone two-flats, a century-old movie theater, the Sunday market and The 606 trail give the neighborhood its pace. This site keeps track of it, one week at a time.
The 606
A 2.7-mile elevated trail on an old rail line. It starts at the neighborhood's west end and runs east to Bucktown and Wicker Park.
The square itself
A 1914 theater, the Blue Line stop, cafés with sidewalk tables and the monument at the center of it all.
