LGNSQ: The Logan Square Book – Gentrification & Preservation in a Chicago Neighborhood is a 300-page hardcover bilingual photography book about Logan Square’s vernacular architecture, independent business community, gentrification, Hip Hop culture, community gardens, daily coffee rituals, neighborly kindness, social clubs and more. The idea for the book came from Khloé Karova, a Logan Square resident since 1997, who wanted to create a time capsule of the neighborhood before full gentrification took hold. The objective was to photograph everything that makes Logan Square unique as well as sites at risk of destruction due to the tide of change. Scenes include nightlife on Milwaukee Avenue before COVID; Sunday church services; student life in public schools; grassroots gatherings in streets and parks; neighbors navigating how to stay safe during the early days of the pandemic; and graffiti art in unexpected places. “We hope this book inspires the reader to explore Logan Square and learn something new about the art and architecture that are part of our distinct culture. I also hope that people get to know the individuals, businesses and organizations that are preserving our heritage while adapting to a new era,” said Karova. More information on the book and team can be found at lgnsq.com.
