I wanted to stick closer to the North Side, but I'm just too picky with condos....
I hate creaky old buildings, and I'm not willing to pay $1k/month in HOAs to be in a highrise. So.... This was my concession. Not the perfect location, but definitely not a bad location at all. I love Logan Sq. This past Summer was the first time being exposed to the area, and I was super impressed.

Sounds awesome, congrats!
The location is fine, though Fullerton & Western makes me shed a year for Quenchers, which closed several years ago. It was one of chicago's original beer bars. 20+ years ago in my early drinking career, Quenchers was a regular spot In my rotation for its unbelievable (at the time) beer selection (this was back before the craft beer supernova).
I think it's now medical offices or some other such boring ass shit.
Still though, it's not like Logan has a shortage of watering holes, I just miss Quenchers. It was the perfect combination of shitloads of beer without any hint of the pretentious snootiness that is sometimes severed up alongside the beer at other beer bars.
