“Neighborhood: Being a trend whore necessitates living at the Bucktown/Wicker Park border.” [so says Cindy Mathew on Metromix]

And to think that North Avenue, this blog’s namesake, used to be known for another, more honest kind of whore.

(Speaking of which, the latest neighborhood gossip is that bones were found in the basement of Lottie’s, a local bar which was once a brothel. The business is closed pending an investigation.)
