Tokyo we’re not. But Logan Square puts on an impressive light show of its own when the sun goes down.

When LoganSquarist first toured the McGrath’s home, they mentioned that a renovation of the upstairs rooms was in the air. A year later, we headed back to check it out.

With the assistance of volunteers, Logan Square Preservation will be planting 24 trees in the boulevard on gaps left by those that have naturally expired or been removed by the park district.

Logan Square has its very own Factory. When LoganSquarist paid a visit on a blustery day this March, no latter-day Edie Sedgwick teetered down the precipitous staircase, nor was there any evidence of recent debauchery.

This moody but inviting redoubt is a place where an Anne Rice hero or heroine might find respite from the garish outside world, drawing the curtains, lighting some candles, and collapsing onto a plush divan.
