Letizia’s Is Coming to Logan Square

February 20th, 2010 · 2 Comments


Letizia’s Natural Bakery, Logan Square, Chicago

I get my hair cut at Mops Beauty Shop on California at Altgeld. Across Altgeld there’s been a lot of construction on a building and when it was done, it was space for a storefront with apartments above. We’ve all been eagerly waiting to see what would go into the space. Today when I went in to get my hair cute I found out: Letizia’s Natural Bakery! I can’t find any information about this online, but as the photos show, it’s for sure Letezia’s. I’m assuming that the Wicker Park location is branching out to Logan Square. I’m excited to have this place. I’ve visited the Wicker Park location a few times when I lived closer to it and the food and coffee was always great. I think it will be a nice addition to the neighborhood. .. and I wonder if it will give the Starbucks on California and Logan Boulevard a run for its money.

Around 10 p.m. we left Jen & Chad’s party and headed down to Wicker Park where Todd was hosting a party. This was a bit more of a traditional New Years Eve party, meaning there was a lot of drinking & loud music. I don’t see these friends of Dallas’s very often because they mostly golf and play basketball and have poker nights, so it was nice to visit with them. We rang in the new year, played a couple intense games of Left, Right, Center and hung out for a few more hours. Fun fun!

Renegade Craft Fair

September 14th, 2009 · 3 Comments

Jess and Emily and I walked from Logan Square down to Wicker Park to check out the Renegade Craft Fair. If you’ve never been, this is not your grandma’s craft fair. It’s cool and hip and everything is hand made. I’d call all these guys artists, not crafters. There are over 300 different vendors selling everything from clothing to baby items to jewelry to paintings. Tons of stuff.

I ended up getting a necklace by Lauren Wimmer that was made with hand-dyed silk. I also got a replacement typewriter key pendent (“R”) from The Weekend Store because I bought one at Renegade a few years ago and lost it somehow. I used to wear it all the time! At that same stand, Emily was looking at these Time Flies necklaces and they were just so cool, I had to get one myself. So, 3 necklaces! I also got something from Kersplash, but I can’t say what because I think it’s going to be a Christmas gift for someone!

One of the most unique items we saw for sale were Junk Drawers, handmade men’s underwear! We talked with the lady that makes them about how she gets new material that’s headed for the landfill to make them and how she went through designing them using her husband as her guinea pig. Fun idea.
