This is suckass news.

I lived in Ukranian Village/Wicker Park/Whatever-Realtors-Call-It-Now neighborhood from 1988 until January of this year. Gentrification began a slow stranglehold on the area in the mid-nineties and had my rent not been so low, I probably would have fled the invasion of smug urbanites long before I did.

I'm too tired to write a well-thought-out eulogy for Leo's (or for the neighborhood) so I will just heave a hearty sigh and continue with my evening.
