Andersonville
The city can be a wonderfully bizarre organism, evolving in unimaginable ways. Who could have planned the comfortable coexistence of a traditional Swedish enclave, complete with local delis dispensing lutefisk and herring, Svea turning table after table devouring its fine Swedish meatballs or Swedish pancakes, with Chicago’s lesbian epicenter and its Women and Children First bookstores and its slightly crunchy knickknack shops? Now the Boys Town boys are moving north, bringing some of their legendary nightlife with them. It just keeps getting more interesting…
