Jan 18th: From the Free Book Box

Another meandering journey today so again lots of photos to share. I was off from work today for MLK Day so my old roommate and I met up at our old brunch/lunch haunt, Milk & Honey cafe on Division. The photo of the flowers was taken there as well as the 2 men... we were amused by the 'old timers' who looked like they were more used to eating at greasy spoon diners rather than Ukrainian Village/Wicker Park cafes.

Feeling a bit aimless after lunch I decided to hop on the blue line and go to Logan Square, hoping to grab a doughnut & coffee at New Wave cafe. Unfortunately it was packed wall-to-wall with people (someone definitely needs to open up another independent coffee shop in that neighborhood!) so I decided to walk along the boulevards for a bit and take some more pictures. My favorite is what I call the 'sidewalk to nowhere' a bit of pavement that no longer serves a purpose.

After my walk I managed to snag a seat at New Wave but alas they no longer sell doughnuts! Got a vegan chocolate chip cookie instead to satiate my sweet tooth.

On the way back to the El stop I ferreted out the Hemingway book from the free book box on the corner, it's a 1956 edition. We never read it in high school and I think it's time for me to read more of the literary classics.
