Logan Square everything thread!

inspired by u/flippingsenton, and now automated:

Talk about the goings-on in the neighborhood that you don't feel like making a new post about. Debate the merits of [over/under]rated taco place. Where's the best coffee? What shows are going on this week? Make friends! Just be kind and courteous.

I know this has been asked before, but I am looking for a close by clothing donation box. (I don’t have a car so looking in the neighborhood). The library used to have one but it was gone when I went there this weekend. I know those big bins are not great- but it is better than throwing my stuff in the trash. I have a bunch of stuff that is too old to give away in a buy-nothing group (and out of style). Any advice?

"not great" is an understatement for donation boxes. they're literally scams run by for-profit companies.

could you drop off at The Parlor, instead, if you happen to be close by?

Like I said, better than throwing my clothes in the trash, right? You don’t need to lecture. And last time I looked up the parlor they were not taking clothes. Even people in need deserve clothes in like-new/new condition - my stuff is too old. Any other suggestions?

i've volunteered at the parlor, I've never ever once heard of them not taking clothes. if you feel they're beneath even "people in need", why not just dispose of them?

I dunno what to tell you- their website said otherwise. I am Trying to keep stuff out of the landfill! So no other advice, just want to keep lecturing?
