Pride Parade To Be Held In October After Last Year’s Coronavirus Cancellation....

Traditionally, the hugely popular parade is held on the last Sunday of June as a closing to Pride Month and a nod to the Stonewall Rebellion, which began June 28, 1969, and is largely considered a catalyst for the gay liberation movement. But the parade is being held later this year to give the city more time to bounce back from the pandemic, Frye said.

Fri, October 1, 2021 thru Sun, October 3, 2021 11:00 AM to 10:00 PM

Highlights include four entertainment stages featuring top local and national music acts, deejays, food and drink, 100-plus arts/craft and merchant vendors, dancing, drag shows, a pet parade, an “Out at Wrigley” national anthem singing contest, sponsor booths and more.

It’s a love-filled celebration of diversity, equality and the Chicago LGBTQ+ community on Halsted Street in the Boystown neighborhood, America’s first recognized gay village.

The festival is easily accessible via the CTA Red Line Addison station at historic Wrigley Field as well as multiple bus lines and rideshare car/cab services with convenient access to downtown hotels and other lodging.

Chicago Gamespace , Logan Square Sunday May 30, 2021

You've probably played Pac-Man before, but did you know that the iconic video game character was introduced to American audiences by Chicago-based Midway Games? Chicago Gamespace's latest exhibition explores the history of one of the most popular digital characters on the planet, considering how a yellow group of pixels became a beloved part of pop-culture that has jumped from arcade cabinets to home consoles and movie screens. Collecting games and Pac-Man ephemera (including soap, lunch boxes and clothing), “Nom Nom: 40 Years of Pac-Man Design and History” is an interactive tribute to a the hungriest video game icon.

Timeout Chicago suggests some scenic drives....

Logan Square Boulevards

Encompassing parts of Humboldt Boulevard, Kedzie Avenue and Logan Boulevard, the "boulevards" of Logan Square are lined with some of the most stunning architecture in all of Chicago. Marvel at massive Victorians, stately brick homes and textbook examples of Prairie School style. The tree-lined streets and grassy picnic nooks that line the streets don't hurt the view, either.

Lower Wacker Drive

Remember the scene in The Dark Knight where Batman, the Joker and a crew of cops face off in a high-speed chase beneath the city streets? That heart-pounding scene was filmed on Chicago's Lower Wacker Drive, located directly below Wacker Drive downtown (fun fact: There's even a third tier below that, known as "Lower Lower Wacker Drive." Though many Chicagoans will disagree about the street's scenic appeal, there's no denying that this iconic city shortcut feels like an entirely different world.

Midway Plaisance

If you've ever been on the campus at the University of Chicago, chances are you've probably ended up on the Midway Plaisance, a mile-long bit of road that connects Jackson Park and Washington Park. There's plenty of lush green space sandwiched between the opposing roadways, and you'll be able to see the stately University of Chicago buildings off to the north. Continue west to loop around the DuSable Museum of African American History, or go east to wrap around the lagoons of Jackson Park.

Over Easy, a 15-year-old breakfast and brunch spot in Ravenswood known for its many crowd-pleasing egg dishes and walls crammed with photographs, paintings, and sculptures of eggs, has closed permanently. Fans were unsure of the restaurant’s status as its owner have kept the doors shut since late December, a holiday break that grew from a few weeks to an indefinite length.

Ownership announced that its run was officially over on Wednesday on Instagram, but my "traveling companion" who lives in Chicago informed me of this in one of our recent phone conversations.
