Does anyone remember La Strada coffee shop on 2000ish N California?

This place was around pre covid and had the best empanadas in the world and the nicest owners.

Unfortunately since they closed I haven’t found another empanada that comes close. I’ve been to 90 mile and others recommended places. Does anyone know if the owners still make empanadas elsewhere or does anyone know a place that have similar empanadas?

parking question

Hi! I am VERY new to the city and i am learning about public transportation. I loved Logan Square/Avondale area and signed a lease here. Down side is im not too close to a line. Is there a place I could park my car by the California Line or Logan Square line for my commute to work?

I have never lived in a city this big, so im just trying to see what the norm is to drive a little less. 😅

House Cleaner

Hello - does anyone have any recommendations for a house cleaner for a biweekly/monthly service? I have tried to search different subs/groups and it is generally more self promotion v. actual recommendations from users. Thanks!

XSport into LA Fitness on Logan Blvd

Does anyone here go to the LA fitness that used to be XSport on Logan blvd?

If so, do you recommend it? I always heard the XSport was pretty iffy but was curious if the new ownership changed it for the better.

Mail woes… any fixes?

We moved in (near Palmer square) around 3 months ago, and have had problems with mail arriving through USPS. We receive some, but not all of our mail.

We’ve verified that folks sending us cards or letters have put our address down correctly.

I did submit a request through USPS website, but it’s continued to be an issue.

Has anyone experienced the same problem, or figured out a way to solve it?

Thanks for any and all help!

Astound in Logan Square

I have been trying to get Astound to answer our service (install) request for a month. We are a new building and there are others in the building that also want the service. Has anyone had success in coaxing Astound to actually showing up in the “construction” side? I’ve been using T mobile and Verizon hubs which are pretty busted. I can’t stomach calling Xfinity…because they are terrible

ISO Organizer/Professional Organizer or Cleaner with Organizing skills

I'm in a situation where I need the help of someone who can both help me move trash and recycling to the alley, and also someone able to look at a bunch of stuff and help sort and organize. Paper management, closet/clothes assessment, organization and donation, and so forth.

Kind of like a household helper, maybe twice a week, a couple/few hours each day.

Back in the old days, you could hire high school or college kid to come help you out. I don't think that's an option, but it could be wrong. Nonetheless I really need a hand.

Cozy coffee shops?

Looking for cozy / dark coffee shops with an “old library” sort of vibe where I can drink a couple cups while reading during weekdays this winter. Looking for overstuffed couches, cozy chairs, etc. Doesn’t need to be in the neighborhood but obv prefer that. Bonus if they have pastries / food. Where should I go?

Spot to watch election coverage

Does anyone know of any good spots (bar, restaurant, whatever) nearby that would be a good spot to watch some election coverage tomorrow? Me and a few friends are looking for a place nearby — ideally one that isn’t too loud and overcrowded — but I’m not really sure who will have it on..

Fresh Christmas greenery in store?

Hi! I’m a product photographer doing Christmas themed photoshoots this week and I’m curious if anyone in town has seen any fresh greenery out for sale(such as wreaths, fresh pine, etc)?

I normally purchase some from Trader Joe’s but did not see any last week. I’m trying to avoid fake greenery for the photoshoot. Even if you’ve seen any outside of Logan square I’m open to all suggestions! Thank you so much!
