Creative and cool are two words that describe Logan Square on Chicago's Northwest Side. As one of Chicago’s most eclectic neighborhoods, Logan Square has become the “in” place to be with its uncommon mix of history and modern urban vibe. Wide boulevards, tree-lined streets, a booming art scene, historic mansions and churches, spacious green spaces, a thriving foodie culture, and community activism give Logan Square a character that’s all its own.

The Logan, as the locals call it, screens everything from first-run films to cult classics to indie favorites and seats over 900 people. It also hosts the annual Chicago Underground Film Festival, the longest-running underground film fest in the world. 

The Perfect Sunday

Logan Square is a biker’s and walker’s paradise. On a breezy Sunday, you’ll want to hop on your bike and enjoy the more than two miles of the historic Chicago boulevard system – also known as the Emerald Necklace – with its landscaped and manicured medians running through the neighborhood. When you’re done, stop off at the outdoor farmers market that runs from May to October on Logan Boulevard between Milwaukee Avenue and Whipple Street. Or better yet? Grab patio seating at one of the neighborhood bars for a true “Sunday Funday.”

Landmarks

Logan Square gets its name from General John A. Logan, an American soldier, and political leader, and lies at the center of its namesake public square and the three-way intersection of Milwaukee Avenue, Logan Boulevard, and Kedzie Boulevard. The centerpiece of the square is the famous Illinois Centennial Monument, designed by the same architect who created the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C.
