Chicago Walking Tour - Logan Square Neighborhood

[@ShaylaD-rq4ty]

I am from Logan square 😊 I use to catch this L, to school when I was a kid. Me and my Mommy, I miss being a kid so many memories.

[@WalkingSerenity]

@ShaylaD-rq4ty: Logan Square brings back such great memories! What’s your favorite memory from those days?

[@ShaylaD-rq4ty]

@ Aw Man plenty I can’t even name them all 😊

[@WalkingSerenity]

Wow, that's a lot of good memories

[@usnchief1339]

WOW...HOME! I left when I was 17. Nice to visit occasionally.

[@WalkingSerenity]

@usnchief1339 What are your favorite places to visit when you come back?

[@usnchief1339]

@@WalkingSerenity Honestly, I only go back to spend time with my sister and eat out at local restaurants. Then I head up to Wisconsin to meetup with my childhood friends.

[@wallykaspars9700]

I grew up and lived in Logan Square (Belden by Sawyer) back when the Logan Square stop was the end of the line.

They sure have expanded since they haven't they?

Lived here for most of 2020. Cool neighborhood with a unique vibe - reminds me a bit of parts of Brooklyn. Moved closer to downtown but I think Logan Square is great for younger people who want kind of a different vibe to their neighborhood. Great video!

[@DUDETHISCOMMENTISSOGODDAMNLONG]

lived here in 2019 to early 2020 and was one of the best times there back on the east so maybe Brooklyn is the better option than Manhattan in that case

[@WalkingSerenity]

@JL03241 Which parts of Logan Square remind you of Brooklyn?

[@WalkingSerenity]

@DUDETHISCOMMENTISSOGODDAMNLONG What makes Brooklyn a better option for you than Manhattan?

[@JL03241]

@@WalkingSerenity The closest in my opinion would be the area along Logan Blvd between Milwaukee and California - kind of more like Ocean Parkway in Bklyn. We lived near the Logan Theater at the time which also had that same vibe. I think the main difference with Logan - as is much of Chicago - is NYC is so much more densely populated and built. The Brownstones and much of the housing is attached in NYC and the streets generally are not as wide. All in all though - I think Logan Square is a good option for those living in Chicago!

@MR-pw6xi What’s your favorite local neighborhood walk you’ve done?

[@lindagrabowski8911]

Very nice, but Iwish you would have ventured into the neighborhood side streets. I lived on Ridgeway and Wrightwood from 1963-1990. I miss Logan Square!

[@WalkingSerenity]

@lindagrabowski8911 What were your favorite spots on Ridgeway and Wrightwood?

@jcsanchez69 What did you love the most about Logan Square?

[@Kay2be2mr]

The houses at 13:00 😍

[@WalkingSerenity]

They are nice, aren't they?

[@MyCamilla1989]

It feels like two quarters of American cities are roads. The entire concept seems to have been designed for machines rather than humans. Highly alienating.

[@Rxnextgenradio]

At least the place has walkability which is nice

[@WalkingSerenity]

@MyCamilla1989 Do you think more pedestrian-friendly designs would improve the area?

[@WalkingSerenity]

"Doors Closing."

@Magna4k How often do you use the Blue Line when you're in Chicago?

[@WalkingSerenity]

@runner6500 Does hearing "Doors Closing" bring back any specific memories for you?

[@ricardosoto5512]

I grew up in the 70's on Logan Blvd..... Gentrification all you want..... keep the Winters.... Florida is the way to go!!!

[@WalkingSerenity]

@ricardosoto5512 Do you ever visit Logan Square to see how it’s changed?

[@ricardosoto5512]

@@WalkingSerenity No. All family in Florida... Left because of the Gangs. But I visited a few years ago and I loved the Changes ... Good luck.

[@OGimperial97]

What a shame gentrification did to Logan Square and Humboldt Park.

[@Shawn-xg8dq]

Everything can't stay 100+ years old man. Money moves, people move, gotta be fluid.

[@WalkingSerenity]

@OGimperial97 How do you think the neighborhood can balance modernization and preserving its history?

[@WalkingSerenity]

@Shawn-xg8dq Do you think there's a way to modernize without losing the neighborhood's character?
