Scene in Logan Square: Logan Square Farmers Market

Logan Square Farmers Market opens its 2009 season on Sunday, June 7, 10:00 a.m., and continues Sundays through October, at the southeast corner of Milwaukee Avenue and Logan Boulevard.

In addition to the early summer produce from farms like Temple Farm Organics (click for a June coupon), Mike and Clare’s Farm, and Jake’s Country Meats, this week there will be prepared food from Vella Café, Fonda del Mar and Cook au Vin (next week Treat will also join the market).

And that’s not all, there will be soaps and cookies and yarns and pies.

2009 New Business of the Year

New Wave Coffee named New Business of the Year

Congrats to New Wave Coffee! Just a couple of weeks ago, the Logan Square Chamber of Commerce named New Wave, with less than five months under its belt, this year’s New Business of the Year.

Zach and Susan continue to make New Wave at 2557 N. Milwaukee Avenue/3103 W. Logan Boulevard welcoming and exciting.  At times they’ve had to scramble to order tables, chairs and coffee cups to accommodate all their customers.  All our local businesses should be so lucky.

Change

Not only in the White House, but even on and around Milwaukee Avenue there have been some changes. Certainly the above average snowfall this season merits an updated photo (below), though this fails to adequately capture the amount of snow we’ve received thus far.
